Diary Entry
Dear Diary,
At the moment I can not see what I am writing so what ever appears on this piece of paper I hope it does make sense to whoever finds this and reads it. It has a been a day or so now, I'm not exactly sure since both night and day have blended together into one now, that I have been blind and been relying on nothing but my other 5 senses and the help of servants around me. This week has just been a grand week you know? I find out that my prophecy has come true. I killed my dad, slept with my mom, and had my sister. It's pretty great you know? I mean, who would have guessed that this I mean all of this would come true? I tried so hard and to believe that this and the prophecy would never come true. It seems that it all just slipped right under my nose. I don't see how I was able to miss all of this and be blind to the reality of what was in front of me. Earlier today I asked Creon to banish me from the kingdom I can't stand being here and remember all the things I have done. I wish that I could kill myself but I just can't seem to bring myself to do such a thing. Banishment seems to be the better option and a way to cope with what I have done to myself. Oh how I wish that I may just forget all of this. As leave and head out of the kingdom I begged to see my daughters for the last time. I will miss them so dearly, they were honestly the jewels to my heart. I will never forget them not until Zeus finally takes my soul. So before I part from the city I decided to write this to make some of the emotions flee away but I fear that I have just written jibberish on a piece of paper that will not make sense to those that have sight. I am off now to leave and be gone with this city. Farewell and may whatever the prophecy holds for me in the future let it be known that nothing is worse than what has happened to me thus far.
With love,
Oedipus
