i'm sorry

i'm sorry i always apologize
for things i shouldn't even have to.
and i'm sorry that i'm the way i am,
it's all i've ever known.

i'm sorry, too, letting you down
because i was to scared to do what i should.
i'm sorry i hurt you.
i have no excuse for it, i just did.

and i'm sorry that i can't help
but be the way i am, if i could i would change.

i'm sorry i always say i'm sorry.
and you're right, one day i will probably just snap,
i just want you to be there to keep me safe.

is this what you love so much?
a sniveling, crying, little pathetic baby?
you say i'm "your little baby."
it seems that's all i add up to be.
i'm sorry

Very good poem..Dont change for anyone just be yourself and the people who truly love you will accept you without wanting you to change in any way.

i'm not sure to whom you say these things to. at first i thought a boyfriend, but it could be a best friend, or even parents. well, lemme tell ya somethin'. yourself is the only person your ever going to be. you may lie and wear masks, but your still stuck with yourself. and people that can't deal with that (including yourself) must come to grips with that fact.

but that was just one part of the poem. some of your other sorrows are very genuine and very raw. you have expressed them in a very "no holes barred" fashion. i like it.

live life without regrets.  

Everyone's got their demons.
We all got somethin' to atone for.
