I'm sorry

I'm so sorry

for apologizing so much

or not apologizing enough -

I'm sorry

sometimes i have to get

this overabundance

of guilt -

for being me -

off of my chest

by apologizing so much

but don't worry -

you won't hear most of the words

on my mind

cause i don't want to be a burden to

you

and everyone else around me -

I'll sugarcoat my words

so they're sweet for you -

but leave a bitter-sweet aftertaste for me

i'm sorry

hope you'll forgive me one day

ill stand here waiting for that day

I'm sorry for feeling this way

i'm sorry

okay?

by far one of the poems that best describes me.

it was made for an english assignment, and i was in a very dark place - having been going through a break up. (i think i was also high when i wrote it?)

any thoughts?

hate?

love?

"I don't think that anything happens by coincidence. No one is here by accident. Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason."

- James Redfield
