I'm Sorry


I'm sorry I'm a mess. I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment. I'm sorry that I don't get your "jokes". I'm sorry they sound more like insults. I'm sorry that my grades aren't perfect. I'm sorry you don't help me. I'm sorry that I'm not perfect. I'm sorry you taught me I couldn't be. I'm sorry your house isn't clean. I'm sorry you didn't tell me to clean it. I'm sorry that I act to strong. I'm sorry I learned to survive. I'm sorry that I don't share with you more. I'm sorry that you are ignoring me. I'm sorry I don't know what I'm apologizing for.
