Confessing Sins

Letting go of all that I know,

All that I’ve done, the things I’ve seen.

The lines I’ve crossed,

The pain I’ve caused.

Can I trust you?

Will this stay between us?

Are you a friend?

What’s going to happen?

A gamble, a risk, a chance,

Of trusting someone new.

Damn I hope I can trust you,

Or else quite frankly I’m screwed.

The reasonable side of me says to shut my mouth,

What reason would you have to keep your word?

I guess I’m doing what I hate in other people,

Relying on the irrational part to make my decisions.

In the end, it doesn’t matter,

I have to trust you to stay sane.

Letting go of all my inhibitions to breathe.

Getting it off my chest so it won’t happen again.
