I'm Sorry


I’m sorry for all the things

That no one ever sees

Whether you tell them

Or they don’t listen

And ignore your desperate plea

 

I’m sorry that you don’t

Like the world you live in

Or that your life seems bleak

and sad and wrong

And your heart just wants to give in

 

I’m sorry that you feel

Like nobody knows you’re there

Like a figure in the shadows

A spirit, a ghost

Drifting through the air


I wanted to say that I’m sorry

I notice you

and your daily strife

Please don’t threaten the things you do

Please don’t take your life.

 

You won’t see the people who are sorry

That they were too busy to see

When you told them

They didn’t listen

And ignored your desperate plea
