I'm sorry.
I'm sorry that my hair's not straight.
I'm sorry I don't get the best grades.
I'm sorry to disappoint,
But I really just don't get your point.

I'm sorry you don't like my face.
I'm sorry that I'm such a disgrace.
I'm sorry I can't seem to see
Just why you think you're better than me.

I'm sorry you don't like my clothes.
I'm sorry you don't like how I "strike a pose."
I'm sorry you can't understand
That I'm not really yours to command.

I'm sorry you were misinformed
That I would somehow come to conform
To how society is supposed to view me,
But I'm not going to - so go ahead and sue me.

I'm sorry you don't like my hair,
But I really just don't care.
I'm tired of your demands of me.
So, please, can't you just let me be?
