Dear Diary (True Story)
I have written to you every day
It has been over twenty five years
Not one day did I miss writing to you
No not even one day
About my feelings and fears
The things I did, the only way
When insanity would invade and normal was not around
Tricks were played in my head
No matter how crazy, I wrote to you
For years you were quiet, never made a sound
Of all the things that they did and said
Some day it would all come true
You knew my every thought and pain
I told you everything
You knew what I wrote on April 3, 1993
You are the best thing I ever did, I cannot complain
Back then I did not know what it would bring
It was you that saved me from the hanging tree
Now I have written a book about you
Because you are all about me
Times and places, names and faces of them all
All about what evil doers do
You are the one that kept me free
Dear Diary, I thank you most of all
