I'm sorry mom, and I'm sorry dad
or is it you who should be apologizing to me?
we've all messed up
oh how I wish we could just move on.
The ephemeral tears that glisten on my cheeks
are hidden behind cold steel eyes
and my fragmented heart
is hidden behind miles of anger inside.
I'm sorry brothers, and I'm sorry sister
that I wasn't better to you
for what they did to me
I surely did it too.
Forgive me Father
and help me be better
that I may repair
the ties that i desperately wish I never severed.
Help me to stand tall,
so others may never know
just how easy it is
to make me stumble and fall.
