Confession.

Write a poem, with a set structure, which centres around the theme of confession.

How to Confess

When you enter your personal hell of shame and guilt,

you can stand in front of the eye and look down to your feet.

Be humble, O’fellow man! Your words of falsehoods at a tilt,

and the truth spears through, taking no defeat.



So say aloud your sins, come clean and absolve yourself!

Come and free yourself, why shackle yourself to such a feeling?

A confession halves the sin for the one awaiting to better themselves.

So come true and remorseful. Come kneeling and come with your mind reeling,


Guilt, regret, shame


The eye stares ahead


awaiting for a finger to be lifted


but remain on your knees


scrapped and bruised


Be true, and do not

speak another lie.


The eye desires

only the truth



Speak aloud, bellow out your regret,

Take the step—your soul’s debt is met.
