in the wonders of my mind💗.

I’m Sorry

I’m sorry for the breath I take,

The space I claim, the steps I make.

For every word that’s ever spilled,

For every dream I’ve never filled.

I’m sorry for the way I seem,

A shadow chasing after dreams.

For being me, for being here,

For all the days I lived in fear.

I’m sorry for the tears I’ve shed,

For nights alone, the thoughts I dread.

For feeling lost, for feeling small,

For holding on when I should fall.

I’m sorry for the times I’ve tried,

And all the moments that I’ve cried.

For being weak, for being strong,

For knowing right but choosing wrong.

I’m sorry for the life I’ve led,

For paths I’ve walked, the words unsaid.

For all the hope that’s turned to dust,

For breaking when I should’ve trust.

I’m sorry that I am alive,

A soul that struggles to survive.

For every breath, for every scar,

For reaching out but staying far.

I’m sorry for just being me,

A spirit tangled, never free.

For every whisper, every shout,

For every silent, hidden doubt.

I’m sorry if I let you down,

If my existence makes you frown.

For all the ways I couldn’t be,

For everything that’s trapped in me.

I’m sorry for the life I’ve known,

For every time I stood alone.

For all the things I can’t erase,

For simply taking up this space.

I’m sorry that I am this way,

A fleeting shadow in the day.

For all the sorrow, all the strife,

I’m sorry for my very life.

i wrote it almost 3 months ago which feels like a long time but also not and I just randomly started thinking about it a couple of days ago and I went back to the page I wrote it on and I started thinking about how good it was because I know it’s not amazing but I only ever post my best poems when I get all the right words and I like it enough and it seems post-worthy? but..I’m bad with words and poetry helps. I wrote this poem.
