Apologies I Never Gave and Probably Never Will
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted
I'm sorry I couldn't make this work
I'm sorry I eat a lot
I'm sorry that I need to focus.
I'm sorry, but I just can't stand white noise in my ear.
I'm sorry that I am not willing to change.
I'm sorry, I'm moving forward and not looking back.
I'm sorry you think I'm so useless.
I'm sorry that no one took interest in my dreams so I invested in myself.
I'm sorry that I'm weird.
I'm sorry that your absence in my like made me stronger.
I'm sorry that I actually practice what I preach.
I'm sorry I don't always feel like interacting.
I'm sorry I didn't explain myself to your full comprehension.
I'm sorry I ever gave you a 2nd, 3rd, 12th chance.
I'm sorry I can't patch myself up together and fake a smile.
I'm sorry that your sense of entitlement and the way you belittle me, offends me.
I'm sorry that I didn't just kill myself that one day.
Or the other.
Or the other.
Or the next day after that.
I'm sorry that your need of assurance is more important than my safety.
I'm sorry I made a decision.
I'm sorry that I hurt YOUR feelings, mine just aren't that important.
I'm sorry, but I'll never fit in.
I'm sorry I speak very loud.
I'm sorry I ever spoke up.
