The Truth About Diaries
Marie Devers
My brother bugs me all the time about my Diary. 1
He wants to know what sisters write in total secrecy. 2
I tell him that my Diary is boring as a textbook, 3
but only so he doesn’t try to take a sneaky look. 4
The truth is that my Diary’s like a novel from the store 5
where I’m the leading lady whom the characters adore. 6
It’s amazing, how this parchment documents each thing I do: 7
my nightmares, observations, and my love for peach shampoo 8
I explain all my misfortunes in a sister’s constitution, 9
where I outline all my problems and devise my own solutions. 10
What’s unexpected are my words on sibling rivalry 11
in spite of how I act, my brother means the world to me. 12
That’s one fact that stays under lock and combination; 13
How embarrassed I would be, if he knew my admiration. 14
The speaker says her diary is like a novel from the store.
