• Dear Diary,

    I'm scared,
    Daddy's home,
    Said mommy's gone,
    Now we're alone.
    He walked in fast,
    ...A worried pace,
    I saw some blood,
    Across his face.

    Dear Diary,

    I took such a terrible risk!
    I asked for a biscuit,
    But instead got a fist.
    Daddy tells me I'm greedy,
    Tells me I'm bad,
    And it's my fault that sometimes he gets so mad.
    I know he's right,
    I know I'm wrong,
    I wish i could be more like him,
    Then I just might belong!

    Dear Diary,

    Daddy was drunk today,
    I cried and i cried,
    As he punched away.
    I guess i can't get anything right...
    I never wanted us to fight.
    I like my daddy,
    I really do,
    I just wish that he'd like me too...

    Dear Diary,

    Today was really weird!
    These men came in,
    And as i feared,
    They came to me,
    And picked me up...
    Daddy looked angry,
    With metal rings round his wrists,
    He shouted and yelled,
    And clenched his fists.


    Told me it was my fault,
    That i'd die like mummy too,
    I know he doesn't mean it,
    So i told him...


    "I love you"
