My only apology

I dont want to apologise, not to anyone.

About anything.

I just want to tell myself that I'm sorry.

And will always be sorry.

For all the pain, the unbearable pain I've forced myself to go through.

For all those sleepless nights, filled with unbelievable thoughts.

For all those voices I let myself listen to, those lies I myself created.

For all those moments of missing out, because of truths that I decided was real.

I want to tell myself that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that I've been so mean to my body. To my face.

Telling it how much I hated it.

While during this whole time, my own face. My own body. Was the thing moving me forward. Getting me through. Getting me out.

I'm sorry that I have been so hateful against myself for no real reason.

I'm sorry.

I hope that someday I will be able to forgive myself for that.

That is my only apology.
