Dear Diary,
I just got you today from my grandmother. I can finally write down my thoughts and feelings in private. I guess I should give you some background on me. I'm Melissa Greystone. Part of the Greystones. Our family is one of the high and mighty. We were raised to act prim and proper but this life is getting to me. I'm tired of acting like what my parents expect me to be. I'm tired of being their robot to control. I wish for once, I was born as a poor kid.

Dear Diary,
I heard that Imagine Dragons is supposed to be coming out with a new song on Halloween. This band is my soul. Their songs speak the truth about many topics. These songs are giving me the courage to break away from the Greystone name. I've been talking with my boyfriend about it and he agrees with me that it's about time to get away from the family and live my life how I want to, not how they want me to.

Dear Diary,
I just heard the new song. It's called Machine. It talks about having the looks, the luck and the money but wanting to be free. It talks about raising up and living my life the way I want. How I want to live my life the way I want and not be a part of their "machine". I'm going to break away from the Greystone machine. I'm my own machine to control.

Dear Diary,
I did it. I broke away from the Greystone machine over a month ago. Mom and Dad kicked me out for rebelling but my boyfriend took me in. It feels good to finally be free. I'm not walking on eggshells anymore. I'm not suffocating. My boyfriend and I are happily living the middle-class life. We made pour own machine. A machine that we can control what we do. Thank you Imagine Dragons for giving me the final push towards being free.
