Confession

This poem is about having the courage to put into writing feelings that we're too afraid to say out loud.

The possibility of a confession

hung in the air,

I could feel it in my fingertips.

We could've been brave, right then,

right there,

but fear of your reaction

held back my lips.

The secret I could never tell

haunted me in my slumber,

followed me as I fell

captive to the spell of that October

evening.

I could have told you in the car,

oblivious to the moment passing

but I haven't got a quark

of confidence to start talking.

So in this poem I shall confess,

the string of words I've kept the longest

and the secret I've been dying to tell,

is I'm in love with you, Hernel.

I like reading this poem because i have read it three times. We as humans sometimes are afraid to speak aloud for numerous reasons. This poem helps some people find confidence to speak up. :)
