“I’m sorry.”

You don’t seem to say that a lot

Maybe you really are sorry

In your head

Where everything swirls around

The place

That makes you think

That you have to be sorry

You don’t have anything to be sorry for

People who are perfect

Should say sorry

Because they make us believe

That just since their flaws are minor

Makes us nothing

But that is far from the truth

We are society

But individually 

You are

You.

I’m sorry

That people do not see your

Qualities 

As they should be viewed

I would be upset

If you kept your mouth shut

Now, darling

Speak up when it’s time 

Even when it isn’t

Do what you think it right

Because it the end

We regret the things we didn’t say.

I hope

Everyday beyond this one

You cherish

Being the Weird girl

Don’t forget to

Laugh to hard

Talk to loud

Be noticed

Let everyone know

You have entered the door

Even as you hear them snicker

Maybe you are a 

Hypocrite

As well

Do you now know what it’s like?

I’ll always give people advice

But I rarely listen

Because I care for other peoples

Welfare

Before mine

Listen to yourself

You know what’s right

Don’t be sorry for

Doing the right thing

Darling

drugs, sex, alcohol 

Never helped me.

Detail

In things

That’s the best

Because then you know

About the little things

I don’t care 

About your favorite color

Or 

Your favorite song

I care about

The fact you wear

Red

Because it brings out your eyes

I care about 

The one song

That makes you

Fall into tears

Because it makes you 

think about your past

I know you don’t

Think before you speak

I learn to not care

Just be careful

Okay?

You get

Rough

And

Tough

Maybe because you are scared

Of being too close

Your scared

Of letting people in

I get hurt

But I get over it

Because I get scared too.

Darling,

People hurt

People make mistakes

If you meant it

I’m sorry I made you feel that way

It was never intentional

The fire inside you

Was never a secret

I saw it every time 

You smiled

Don’t be sorry

For guarding your heart

You have been hurt

I have noted

It’s hard to dig the past up

Someday

When you are ready

I will be ready to listen

No ones

Flawless

Sweetie,

Any guy

Would be lucky to have you

Those 

Dickheads

Don’t know what they are missing

It’s okay to spill

Make mistakes

Break things

Ever seen

Mosaics?

Made from broken pieces?

Ever seen

Those coffee spill drawings?

That make everything better?

Well, I think they are beautiful

They always attract everyone’s eyes

Say sorry

For bumping into someone

Say sorry

For mixing up a word

But don’t you dare 

Ever

Say sorry

For being you
