does not seem legit

how many sorrys you have

Disingenuous

you throw up sorrys

like confetti. Please stop ‘cause

- comes down like glitter

thrown out to placate

your sorrys are throwaways

a placate party

Confetti it up!

your sorrys are meaningless.

Glitter everywhere.

Places it shouldn't be

only function? Distraction

pretty as it is

Please. I beg of you

keep your thank yous and sorrys

can’t clean up the mess

Leave the empty thank yous

Hyperbole pleasantries

And just do better.
