Sorry

I'm sorry for the things I never said.
I'm sorry for the thoughts inside your head.
I'm sorry I didn't fit inside your plan.
I'm sorry, I'm not meant for you, "my man".

I'm sorry my light burns too bright.
I'm sorry I won't try to make things right.
I'm sorry I outgrew the cage you made.
I'm sorry I'm not someone you can persuade.

I'm sorry I won't play by your rules.
I'm sorry I don't bow like all those fools.
I'm sorry I can't be who you want.
I'm sorry, not sorry; you're the one at fault.

I'm sorry I didn't kiss your ass enough.
I'm sorry I don't like my world a little rough.
I'm sorry my flaws are in full view.
I'm sorry I finally got over you.

I'm sorry, "babe"; did I mess up?
I'm sorry; "I'm sorry"'s not good enough.

I create stories and poems, and am known for deleting them if I (eventually) find them cringey, rushed, or meh (this includes any listed in challenges). Rarely, I post anything outside of that.

I goof my tags sometimes.
