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
