How do you confess yourself?

How do you confess yourself? Over chicken and rice In the light of a moment In laughter and life? Or is it with warning? "Please don't be mad." Trembling lips Narrowed eyes and red hands Or is it with silence? Scribbled words on a bed Leave for the weekend Buzzing phone wasting dead Or is it with defiance? A mock-up of "brave" I will not let myself Destroy me today Or is it an apology? "I'm sorry I was scared" But your tongue is so telling Your thoughts were so bare. How do you confess yourself? In a way that is true Bare your soul to the people You hope care for you
