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
