My Selfish Apology


To my life, my world, my everything, the love of my life. I'm sorry. I’m sorry for being selfish. I'm sorry for treating you like trash. I'm sorry for taking advantage and abusing you. For causing your inner and outer corruption. None of that was ever my intention. I loved you and I still do. But the older I got the more greedy and selfish I became. And so did everyone else around me. I guess that’s why I never noticed that I was doing anything wrong. I was so oblivious and for that I’m sorry. 

So with all of that, i was wondering if you could forgive me. If I changed, if I treated you better and started to appreciate everything you do for me, would go back to the way you were before. Beautiful, loving, strong, independent, and most important….. Safe and Full of Life. 

So as I said before. To my life, my world, my everything, to the love of my life. Dear Earth, I truly am sorry.
