Hi,
I need to make a template for numerous poems. The length of the lines will vary from file to file.
How can I center the text of the poem so that text will be left-aligned but the left and right margin will be equal.

<h1>Reflections(1)</h1>
<p>
I never understood your feelings about me.<br />
I know you were never satisfied with me.<br />
Didn’t seem that I could ever do anything to please you.<br />
</p><p>
I don’t think you ever knew how much I hurt.<br />
How much I wanted your approval,<br />
your love.<br />
</p><p>
You were never able to give me what I felt I needed inside.<br />
I never felt worthy around you.<br />
So little self worth.<br />
</p><p>
I would medicate myself so I wouldn’t feel how I always seemed to feel.<br />
To cover my feelings of inadequacy, worthlessness and anger.<br />
It seemed so much easier that way.<br />
</p><p>
When I was with you when you passed on, I was so angry at you.<br />
The only feeling I could identify at that time was anger, Dad .<br />
Why couldn’t you love me?<br />
</p><p>
I am moving on and working through my feelings about my life with you.<br />
Today I can say…I forgive you dad.<br />
I’ve had to so I can move on towards where I want to be.<br />
</p><p>
Today I feel good.
