I’m sorry.

I’m sorry I speak too loud,

I’m sorry my laugh is too obnoxious,

I’m sorry I can't be quiet and likable...

Like you.


I’m sorry to my parents.
Sorry I can never live up to your perfect standards,

Sorry I fail in everything I do,

Sorry I can never be the best...

Like you.


I’m sorry to you.
I’m sorry that I can’t be the youthful, innocent person you picture,

Sorry about the scars I wear, both mental and physical,

Sorry my childhood was stripped away from me,

Because of you.


I’m sorry, sorry, sorry

Sorry I’m never enough

Sorry I’m so annoying

Sorry I let you steal my innocence

Sorry I talk too much

Sorry for my scars

Sorry for my cries for help

Sorry I miss every shot I take

Sorry. Sorry for plainly existing

This piece includes some of the major aspects of my life. It tells about the fear of not being good enough and never feeling perfect, but it also illustrates how something like sexual assault/harassment can detrimentally wreck someone’s life forever.
