By: ibn Herbert

It’s an acknowledgement
Not a concession,
Good for the soul
Is confession
But so many
Don’t learn the lesson
That I’m stating here
Not contesting

Good for the soul
It’s been said
To confess your transgression
Instead
Of holding them inside your head
It’s better to put them to bed
How else will they ever
Be dead?

Confession Leads to relief
From the ailments
That cause you grief
For some it’s a matter
Of belief
Which I feel
Fit’s this motif
All I’m trying to do is debrief

We all have the need to confess
Just to get it
Off our chest
But some won’t
Nevertheless
It’s too hard for them
To digest
Those are the ones who
Digress
