"I'm Not Sorry!"

"I'm not sorry!" he screams,

The little child

Inside this 6-foot, 100-kilogram, 37-year old man,

Takes over.

Stubborn,

Upset,

Annoyed that he's being reprimanded

For not a wrong

But a preference

Of keeping toxicity away from his life.

For wanting to share happy moments

With people who make him happy

Who reciprocrate.

He refuses to apologise

For the toxic, negative thoughts of others.

And I stand by him,

Maybe I don't through thick or thin

But definitely on this decision.

For he is not wrong

For wanting to give his love and time

To those who give the same to him.
