Confession

I have an admission
That I need to make
I've kept me to myself
And that was a mistake
Wrapped up tight
There's no chance to explain
The silence within
And that is a drain

On my resources and energy
Everything I do
Keeping all doors closed
Instead of letting through
The ones that are closest
That hold the key
To all that there is
And all that there'll be

So this is my admission
And apology too
If I'm ever quiet
It's me, not you

I have a confession
And I'm glad I can say
That talking, talking
Is the only way
Hold nothing back
Let it all fly free
You'll be understanding
So easily

And that gives me energy
That springs from inside
Helps me ensure
The doors are flung wide
Put down that key
It's not required, I'm sure
This lock won't be shut tight
To you, anymore

So this is my confession
And a promise too
If I'm ever quiet
I'll turn to you
