Forgive me, father/mother/friend,

for I have

sinned



It's been 4 years since

my last confession



I've committed

adultery,

suicide

(that's why I haven't

been in for so long)



I've

lied

I've

disobeyed

I've

envied

and

sworn

and

gossiped



This isn't so hard, is it?



I've

lusted

and

longed for

I've

filled myself to the brim

I've

abused my power



I've

hoarded my dollars

and

been proud of my accomplishments

and

sometimes taken a lazy break



I've

shouted in anger,

but for good reason.



Doesn't it count that I

recognize this?

Doesn't it count that I

am lonely,

down,

examining myself for

bruises?
