Confessions

I always admit to what’s true.
This is my humility and hubris.

When I bow my head
I’m asking for forgiveness.

Saying nothing would be my greatest virtue,
if only I could do it.

Tears don’t come easy.
When I cry, I must go to bed early.

Countless times each day I feel angry.
There’s a fire inside stealing my oxygen.

What does all this mean?

My intuition tells me the Universe
wants me to figure it out.



All confessions are Odysseys.
Raymond Queneau
