I'm Sorry


I'm sorry

I'm sorry I scream

I'm sorry I threaten

I'm sorry it's easier for me to lie and say "I hate you"

Than to ever admit that I love you

I'm sorry I flinch

I'm sorry I glare

I'm sorry that I would rather hurt you

Than hug you and make you forget all your pains

I'm sorry I insult

I'm sorry I don't care

I'm sorry that I would rather make fun of you

Than tell you how proud I really am

I'm sorry my family

I'm sorry my friends

I'm sorry that I can't help the way I am
