They listen to my thoughts
And listen to my dreams
 They hear all my worries
The only ones, it seems
 Holds on to each word I say
And catches all my tears
 Have been there to comfort me
There for all these years
 Each time I have a problem
I come to them to release
 Let all of my feelings go
And give my mind some peace
 They're filled with all my words
And filled with all my stress
 All of my emotions
Even times of happiness
 My shoulder to lean on
The many times I've cried
 When I start to wonder
Just how I will get by
 They are the only place
Where I can be set free
 And truly be myself, in
The pages of my Diary
