I apologize to the girl I pushed down accidentally when we were playing tag.
It wasn't my intention to make you fall.

I apologize to the girl who asked me out in high school who I left without saying a word.
It wasn't my intention to lead you on.

I apologize to the guy who always hated me in middle school.
I must have done something wrong for which I cannot remember.

I apologize to my mother for being born.
It's obvious after your first you never wanted a second.
And if you did, you never acted that way.

I apologize to my friend's parents for everytime I walked downstairs and caused the dog to bark.
In the middle of the night when I had stomach pain and needed a warm rag or some pills from the bathroom.
Whenever I went to get something out of the fridge to heat up or go outside to get to work.
Whatever the reason I felt like a burden to the point where I would often go without food and just keep the silence.
Sometimes I would leave the house and get back hours later so the tension wouldn't be there.

I apologize to the kid in middle school who always had other kids saying nasty things about you behind your back.
I never tried to help in anyway possible.
I didn't know how or what to say.

I apologize to all my relatives who have passed away who I couldn't even shed a tear for.

I apologize to many of my friends who I haven't spoken to in years.
I have a hard time speaking my mind.
Thinking that everything I could say would just be a waste of time.

I apologize to all the plants I forgot to water.
I shouldn't have tried to take care of anything when I have a hard time taking care of myself.

I apologize to the pine tree.
That grew from an acorn I planted in a planter box that grew to be three times taller than me.
And you inevitable had to be cut down because your roots broke the planter and made a crack in the garage door.
That was my fault not yours.
