"Confessions" Inspired by The Words We Keep:

Confessions

There are some things

I love mustard on my pizza.

that I don’t say out loud

I have to write with the same pen in the same notebook.

because I don’t want to seem strange or silly

I love cheesy werewolf romance stories.

or be judged.

I only brush my teeth once a day.

My words are filtered,

I dream of falling in love,

edited, curated, censored, sometimes even forbidden

like, all the time.

by myself.

Seriously – every breathing male is a potential candidate.

I’m scared of making a mistake

I’m scared of being a mistake.

and of being excluded,

I don’t know if I can ever forgive my dad.

ignored, banished, ostracized, even simply called annoying

His death would have been easier than the divorce

for being too different.

because I wouldn’t know he isn’t who I thought he was.

Even now, I can’t say everything,

What if someone finds out these are my words?

in a poem I’ll post on a random blog.

On a blog no one reads.
