Dear Diary ,
today's my last.
Don't take it personal -
it's not you ,
it's me.
A big girl now -
with her head out of the clouds.
My eyes are open -
the truth is what I see.
Time's have changed ,
people desire power -
power over people.
You contain my secrets,
my entire past.
Privacy is what I wanted,
so in your pages I confided in.
Too be understood ,
is what I needed -
So to you I came ,
when weary and disheartened.
A tiny lock ,
opened easily by prying eyes -
guards my feelings
A weakness-
that's what you are.
If people should find you ,
oh honey -
you should not be surprised that
they read your pages
So tonight ,
when you burn -
just remember ,
I'm doing it for me....
