I'm afraid I must confess,
I've never experienced heartbreak,
Or even love but,
I know it hurts.
I know that it is a indescribable pain,
That can't be turned into poetry,
Though people may try.
I'm afraid I must confess,
I have a good life.
I am loved,
I know that.
But, the voices in my head,
They are much harder to convince of that.
I'm afraid I must confess,
I've never been in love,
Never experienced that extraordinary thing,
Though I wish too.
I really do,
I wish to experience the thing that poets speak about.
I'm afraid I must confess,
I'm insecure,
Not sure why,
I make decent grades,
And I try my best.
I'm afraid I must confess,
I'm sorry if this seems a little self-obsessed,
But, sometimes,
I need to talk about me,
Just as you sometimes need to talk about you.
