Confessional Poetry
It is a hard thing to write down.
Much less,
The things that you do.
To influence a life that's not yours.
What did he want?
He only wanted her to get her.
Not even a priest especially a priest
Wants to go to heaven a virgin.
But in the past I did .
Anyway mine didn't, so does the boy or girl stay a virgin?
Who even has the audacity to bring this up on a
Sunday morning?
Back it out,
the girls that live in those trailer's?
Confessions don't change, unless,
they are changed before Sunday morning.
When you
step up to
the mike
How much should
you reveal?
How long should you
let the light shine on you?
Some tell all - confessional poetry
(I have heard) offers
a good soul
purging
even as dawn
approaches
we feel like
we should open
up!
But
How much to tell?
How much to ?
How much!!!!
