I'm sorry

Dear Everyone,

All I can say is

"I'm sorry"

I am sorry for hurting you

I know how it feels.

I am sorry for never being there for you.

I have been but you never noticed.

I am sorry for never being good enough for you.

I try to be.

I am sorry for holding in what I feel.

It's the only way.

I am sorry for what I have done.

I can't seem to think.

I am sorry for never making it.

I want to make you proud.

I am sorry for being different.

I don't want to be normal.

I am sorry for not being what you want.

I can't even be myself yet.

I am sorry for even being here.

 I wish to be gone everyday.

I am sorry for giving you a hard time.

I just have to leave.

I am sorry for making feel ashamed of me.

I try okay.

I am sorry I just thought it was the best.

I do care, I want to help.

I am sorry I just wanted to be myself.

I try but I don't know who I am.

I am sorry I just wanted to feel accepted.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

I am sorry I just wanted to accomplish my goal.

I still reach for it.

I am sorry I just wanted you to be proud

And that is my goal.

But the thing is. . .

Why should I be sorry?

Why do you bring me down?

What is your purpose of this?

I do the best I can

I hide what I feel so you can be happy.

What am I doing to you?

This is my life!

I am who I want to be.

Let me be me.

I already have so much to try to make okay

I pray to God, that everything will be okay.

Let me just say. . .

Hey, you reading this I am here for you.

I will walk with you and be there for you.

I am here to listen.

You are not alone.

I want you to be alright.

Put your head up.

Let all of us be free.

Together we stand.

And don't cry tonight.

Don't let our nightmares win.

Let us dream for a better tomorrow.

And tomorrow we take a stand to our fears.

 

Join me,

Tania
