Dear Diary

She writes in her diary 
The events that's taken place 
She locks in her dresser drawer 
To hide it just in case 

For it keeps all of her secrets 
That's she's never told a soul 
Things she's hidden in her heart 
That no one will ever know 

Its pages tell a story 
Of her sorrow and her joy 
Her memories wrapped in paper 
That time cannot destroy 

It holds her key to happiness 
And even, the meaning of life 
It tells of all her heartaches 
That cut her like a knife 

Her diary holds the mystery 
Of where she's coming from 
It tells of who she is 
And who she wants to become 

Pen and paper in a carboard box 
Becomes a little girl's past 
Her dreams, memories and heartaches 
For as long as the binding lasts
