Confession
Have you ever…
Gone to bed and prayed for a purpose?
Woke up but still felt empty and worthless?
Held on to a grudge but couldn’t contain it?
Used anger as fuel and couldn’t sustain it?
Asked for forgiveness then didn’t accept it?
Forgiven someone but couldn’t forget it?
Made up excuses to hide what your truth was?
Lied to yourself and believed you were useless?
Remembered the failure instead of the learning?
Said you were grateful but felt undeserving?
Blamed someone for how you were feeling?
Judged a behavior that you were concealing?
Had a strong feeling but just couldn’t trust it?
Let someone use you and then felt disgusted?
Thought you were lonely ‘cause nobody knew you?
Felt too exposed because they could see through you?
Tried to untangle a mind that was twisted?
Been sure that you lost it but not why you missed it?
Knew the answers but still asked the questions?
I have, and these are confessions.
