But you are not alone in this
And you are not alone in this
As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand
Hold your hand

Dear Diary,

I'll keep it short today – I don't feel good. I've felt terrible for a week now.

I think I overdid it these past few weeks. Hopefully mom will be home soon.

I need her potato soup.

Dear Diary,

After feeling sick for days, I am feeling a little better today. I think Dean might have been a bit worried, but I convinced him everything was fine. I don't think he feels comfortable with feeling the feelings, but he seemed to try and make sure I was okay.

He's sweet.

When I start feeling like my health is waning, it frightens me. But, I won't let people see how scared I am. I can't. It wouldn't be fair to anyone who knows me. If they think I'm ready – if they think I've accepted it – maybe it won't be as difficult for them to accept.

Or maybe I'm just taking up space with my stupid ideals.

The world isn't a fairytale. When am I going to learn that?

And I will tell the night
Whisper, "Lose your sight"
But I can't move the mountains for you
