I could never be a Catholic

praying on the rosary beads

going to Mass on Sundays

and Confession after that

I could never be a Catholic

confession scares me enough

too many secrets, too many thoughts

it's like I'm drowning, never to come up

I could never be a Catholic 

you have to speak you're faults

if I never say them, they might be false

but saying them gives the breath of life

I could never be a Catholic

too scared of what's inside

too frightened to bring my demons to life

too proud to admit I'm anything but strong

I could never be a Catholic

Father, forgive me, for I have sinned
