Take Me To the Confessional - Haha Not Really It's More of the Same Old
Take Me To the Confessional - Haha Not Really It's More of the Same Old
As a confessional portrait poet
I see myself through my own lens
Getting really into 'if I feel it, show it'
Risk appearing a right misery to poet friends
If I carefully conducted a survey
Ignoring any anomalous score
What would be contained in resulting communiqué
Perhaps it's true I am a chore
But if I scour the current ad hoc data
Analyse the feedback sheet
Very few people say "yeah I hate ya"
I'm quite liked by the people I meet
IRL I don't drone on about poor me
Or tell of woes a mile a minute
At parties and in person I'm relaxed and free
Demonstrating joy and wit
But poetry fulfills a need
It's the quiet listening ear
To help internal narrative not succeed
Help shed my cloak of fear
I'll try and bring my happy vibe
Display my sense of fun
Avoid depressing the poet tribe
Since my healing has begun
*I'll be exactly the same
*this doesn't contain hidden meaning
