I'm sorry my music is much too loud. It drowns out the voices that pulls me apart. I'm sorry my clothes are too baggy, tight or displeasing to the eye. It's all I'm allowed to get out of the crowd. I'm sorry my language is abrasive and blunt And perhaps not too kind and respectful as it should be. I had to defend myself since birth and raised my voice to be heard. I'm sorry my motivation is shot to hell And it appears that I don't even try. The opportunities I searched for have all been shot down. I'm sorry the person I am doesn't fall into your generation scheme. I have problems falling into place with my own. I'm sorry my views of god, politics and people are askew. I assumed then didn't notice me when their hand was absent in my life. I'm sorry that I failed your expectations of how I would turn out. I'm sure the expectations you persevered Required a lot of hard work that was followed by success and acceptance by all. I'm sorry that you're so tired to see The kind of person I could be. I'm sorry that you push me aside in youth Because you didn't want to take the time to teach me. I'm sorry if your plans of your future Are just as dissapointing as mine. Is wasn't my intent to deprave you this show. I'm sorry...but I expected more from the generation that raised me. I'm sorry you created misguided youth and then punished them for following suit. And once I am done apologizing And wasting my years on reckless escapes I'm sure I'll come down to your point of view And neglect and forget who I'm meant love and protect. I don't expect to be catered to when I'm older and exhausted By those I shoot a disdaining eye. I might have encouraged them to offend me so But, knowing that, at least I won't be surprised.
