Joseph L Miller Mar 2010
For all of my friends, my family, and loved,
I am sorry.
I am sorry for the lies,
For the betrayal and back-stabbing,
I am sorry for it all.
I am sorry I wasn't always there
To help you when you fall.
I am sorry for the hurtful jokes,
The prodding, and the pokes,
I am sorry for not caring
When you needed me the most.
I am sorry, so sorry, with all of my heart,
That instead of helping you,
I only fell apart.
I have never been so sorry
For the things that I have done
As I am at this moment,
Because I want to feel the sun.
Sadness and apologies
Can cloud a person's life.
They'll breech you and mistreat you,
Causing only strife.
I want to live within a world
That is free from torment and woes.
So, the only thing that I can do
Is take on these invisible foes.
To build a world where no one is sorry
Is to build a purely altruistic world.
So the best place for one to start
Is simply with themselves.
I want to help my fellow man,
But must first conquer myself.
So, I am sorry for ever apologizing.
I'll never hurt you again.
