Too
Sorry I was too cold too barren too early too young
Now I've got me an ice gun
Apologies for you being too angry too chaotic too quick too soon
You don’t make sense
Never did the stories but time well spent
Sorry I was too impatient too outspoken
Apologies for you never listening and always understanding
Gratitude for you who learned neither the sun nor the earth was the center much too late
Condolence for you who learned not to share and became too greedy
Sorry I became lonely
Sorry I made fake
Sorry I wasn’t happy
Sorry I’m not very sorry
I keep apologizing but I’m not acting truthfully
Sadness and anger and joyous for wordplay
Too human not enough animal
Too complex not enough basics
Tell me this and I’ll ask you to think about that
You said sorry you’re were too philosophical too sympathetic too much too often
I replied don’t worry you’re exactly who I thought you would be
Too self centered too filthy and too rich
Uncaring and relentless too powerful and never the switch
I asked for equality but you said you were sorry that goal is too out of reach
Too futuristic too immoral never to be enough
That that work be left for God it is too pure and too good
Humans possess all the evil and no just so there can never be peace
So tell me when does torture become too inhumane?
Too much pain and never enough questions or answers to give
Answer me not with black tongue but truth and honesty.
I am not a child once was though still deserving of maturity
But you never gave me any said I was too innocent still blossoming
Fed me lies about people I needed faith to believe in
Sorry I was too smart too witty to follow in your steps
Apologies for putting this burden, these words to your chest
