Sorry Mom, Sorry Dad

I'm sorry I'm always sad

and I'm sorry I'm depressed.

I'm sorry that I constantly

cause you so much stress.

I'm sorry I fail my classes

when you think I'm really smart.

I'm sorry I can't deal with

my forever broken heart.

 

I'm sorry that I cry

and I'm sorry that I cut.

I'm sorry I'm a sinner,

that I'm shameful to you, but:

Try to understand

that my sadness won't let go.

Try to understand

that pain is all I know.

 

I can't be who you want me to

'cause happy's too confusing.

I can't change who I am for you

'cause I'm only good at losing.

So let me be, leave me alone

so I can stop causing you pain.

I know that I have lost all hope,

but you have more to gain.
