i am sorry.
i am sorry that i am self-absorbed.
i am sorry that i am opinionated.
i am sorry that i don't meet your standards.
i am sorry i don't meet your needs.
i am sorry i am not perfect in your eyes.

i am small.
i do not matter.

However-
i am not sorry that
i don't fit in your boxes of what humanity should look like.

i am not sorry that
i am me;
i may not matter in the long run,
     but ****.

you don't need to remind me.
