Public Diary

[Intro] [Verse 1] We used to hide our secrets in a book beneath the bed, Now we post our hearts online, scream the words we never said. Every thought’s a headline, every tear a viral thread, But when the comments flood like storms, we’re drowning in their dread. [Chorus] Oh, this public diary, ink that never fades, We trade our quiet pages for the noise the whole world makes. A “like” feels like a sunrise, but a troll can twist the blade— Why do we scream for mercy in the cage we’ve built and paved? [Verse 2] White man 50+, rage typed in all caps, You spit your bitter sermons, leave no room for kind comebacks. We’re all just ghosts in algorithms, chasing claps or attacks, But the girl who shared her shadow? She’s not begging for your facts. [Chorus] Oh, this public diary, ink that never fades, We trade our quiet pages for the noise the whole world makes. A “like” feels like a sunrise, but a troll can twist the blade— Why do we scream for mercy in the cage we’ve built and paved? [Bridge] Is it courage or addiction, this dance with fire we’ve learned? The ones who bleed in silence wait for love they’ve barely earned. We could build a softer kingdom where the broken hearts are heard, But it’s easier to throw the stones than mend the wounds with words. [Chorus] Oh, this public diary, ink that never fades, We trade our quiet pages for the noise the whole world makes. A “like” feels like a sunrise, but a troll can twist the blade— Why do we scream for mercy in the cage we’ve built and paved? [Outro] So let the hate be quieter, let the kindness roar, Our diaries are open—but they’re worth fighting for.
