I admit, I skipped class
for a piece of
pumpkin pie.
I admit, I went after mass
for a sip of wine
to escape time.
I admit, I did waste
parts of my youth
especially waiting on a fairy
to pay me for a tooth.
I admit, I had imaginary friends
some were real, some dreamt
but held them all
in contempt.
I admit I believe
all the water falls
so it can find comfort
not be deceived.
I admit every flower
has a hidden purpose
but expires
after one hour.
Don’t admit away
your life
remained disguised
water only falls to be a display.
