Happy St. Patty's day =) May the luck of the Irish be with ye *giggles* No seriously I'm hoping to find a leprechaun myself!!!

17 March 01

I'm sorry for all that I lack
And for all that I get back
I'm sorry for the unselfish things that I do
And I'm even sorry for all the times I come crying to you

I'm even sorry for the way I disregard myself
And how I always put my hopes and heart upon a cluttered shelf
I'm sorry that I really don't know who I really am
And that sometimes I'm to weak from tears to even stand

But what I apologize for most in this life
Is that I've lost all track of hope and time
I've been so blinded by treachery
That I can barely even see what is standing right infront of me

"Let me be the one you call, if you jump I'll break your fall, lift you up and fly away with you into the night"

Ceinwyn, if you can identify all of the thing that you think you have to apologize for, than you are cured. I think it is the ones who think everything is all right that have a problem. This is a healing verse and very well done. Hugs, ME

Hey girl I'm thinking you shouldn't have to apologize to anyone for yourself. You are a person, and just because you may not know who you are, that doesn't mean you should apologize. Please don't be sorry for anything! Best wishes...beautiful piece by the way...~*~Jesilyn~*~

Is it just me, or is this half sarcastic? I don't know, but it's movieng, and I love it, and it's going into my library.

I thought it was written nicely. I liked it and I haven't seen you around lately! You oughta come by more often!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

She doesn't have her own compy, Javier. Otherwise yeah, I wish she would be here more often too!
This was a great job! An apology to the world... wow... very powerful concept.
Hope to see you tonight, so we can work on ours!

I don't remember reading your work before, but I love this. If this is sarcastic then... right on... but if not, then, please don't apologize for being yourself, I've been down that road far too often. Keep writing!!

I know. There is someone I know that should really read this so she can realize. Good job. Especially the end

I liked the end a lot too. Very nicely written... Good job.

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

You know, it's a good thing you live in Maryland. I'd beat you with my Guiness Glass for trying to find a Leprechaun. They're shy creatures PLUS they only live near the pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. geez...don't you know anything? lol

You are you so don't you dare apologise! If people can't hack it, they can adjust. Just look at Dopes' signature. That'll tell you everything you need to know.

Why are you apologizing to this person for who you are?  You wrote this piece really well, and thanks for sharing
