"apologized" poems
There once was a young man named Feste, and he was not a very good young man. He was a thief, and a sneaky one at that. He would go to all of the stores in the market and steal anything that he pleased. He loved to steal from the baker and the butcher especially. He would go to his hiding place in the forest after his deviousness and eat away his stolen treasures, brooding on what a “clever little boy” he was. The baker and the butcher knew though. They noticed him coming in most days and leaving in quite a hurry. They could not actually catch him in the act, but they knew beyond a doubt what he was doing. They were having drinks together one night though when they devised a clever scheme to stop him from stealing ever again. The butcher carved up a juicy ham, and the baker baked up a delicious pie, but they added a little something extra to it… The butcher made sure to quite a bit of alcohol into the ham, and the baker did the same with his pie. They both set their two traps in the store, right when the spoiled thief Feste came strolling into the market with his eyes gleaming. The baker watched him walk into his shop,the pie disappeared. The butcher watched him walk into his shop, the ham disappeared. They both smiled and went about their work. Feste rushed to his hiding place and devoured his stolen goodies so fast that he didn’t even realize how peculiar it seemed to taste... Not long after, he started to feel strange. Numb and stupid. He ran towards the village, acting a buffoon. The villagers stared and laughed at Feste acting so odd. His mother found him though and brought down the fury. “Feste! Why are you acting like a **** fool?" She demanded. He threw out a few words in a drunken stupor and swayed in place. "Wait.. have you been drinking!?” She screamed. “Noe maum! Allll Ie had todae is pie and haam!” He stammered in a drunken sway. “And where exactly did you get those!?” She inquired. Feste had a look of terror on his face and grew silent. He was found out to be the no good thief and was punished severely, because his mother thought he stole the alcohol as well as the pie and ham, and he couldn’t prove otherwise. Feste never stole again and he even apologized to the butcher and baker, though they still do have a laugh now and then… The End

You messaged me today I listened to what you had to say My heart didn't hurt You didn't try to flirt You apologized to me And said you'd like to see... You'd like to see me and catch up I said okay I could talk to you today Is this healing Because I have no feeling I have no feelings left for you

Is this healing?
I would have apologized for calling you a little ***** if you stopped acting like one. After the argument...you still continue to be a little ***** but sure, go ahead and turn the tables as if it's all my fault because you're right and i' am wrong. You're a little princess walking around with your high horse and knight in shining armor. But one thing you don't understand is that if you didn't carry the possessions you have then you'd be lost in this world without a hand. Little ***** Because you lie then cry for attention, you seek the pity out of your petty which has no significance through the words you speak.

Little *****
I held her cold, dead hand I kissed her lifeless face Memorizing every moment Knowing that I would never feel the comfort of a mother's love again. Her selflessness was her demise She neglected and gave all of herself She smiled so big She spoke soothing words She needlessly apologized All in her last hours

She gave me life, I watched her death.
I forgive you. For the pain you inflicted, for the nights I spent crying over you. For the insecurities you gave me, for the memories you lit on fire. For the mistakes you made that I apologized for. For the friendship you turned into a nightmare. For the nights I spent up wondering what was wrong with me, why I didn't seem to feel worth much to you. For the love you gave, and then the cold shoulder that followed. For the disbelief that laid tight in my chest like a fist. For the smoke that came from your lies, choking me, making me cough up excuses for how you treated me. For the good times times you make me regret. For the talks that meant everything, but mean nothing now. For the truths I'll never be sure were lies or not. For the distrust of love and people you helped instill in me. For saying you'd always be there, and then leaving. For the fact that I still care so much for your well being and pray for your happiness, even though I know you don't care if I'm alive or dead. But most of all I forgive you because you helped me realize that in life sometimes painful things happen and we cannot stay bitter. We must move on to better things, to brighter things, to better people, to brighter people. We must move on to heal, to finally see our worth, to understand that not everyone or everything I've lost was not a loss, just a lesson. To finally know what it feels like to be free of the pain, the bitterness, the resentment, the despair. To finally feel and know peace in such a hurtful situation. I forgive you. Not even for you, but for myself, and other people like me who have felt this before, and aren't yet ready to forgive for an apology they didn't truly feel they got.

The reason why I apologize So profusely over the tiniest of things Is because I always feel as though I am a bother and annoyance so I want the person to be aware that I am truly sorry for the mishap I may have brought about or the wrong words that may have come out of my mouth Because in the past I had to apologize again and again A million sorries I must have said Just to get the point across Just to assuage the anger I unintentionally caused I apologize repeatedly Because I fear not being taken seriously When I say sorry I mean it with all of my heart I apologize even when people say I am not at fault Because in the past I was always the one guilty I was always in the wrong Because when that rage came up and rolled along It rolled right over me And so I said sorry I said sorry to the steamroller for being in its way And for the broken bones and bruises on my heart that I carried for days I apologize for apologizing Because I know I must sound so repetitive and annoying But I feel as though I can't apologize enough To make up for and cover up Whatever sin I may have committed against the one I am apologizing to Because when you say it’s okay I always fear it’s not true Because in the past those hiccups and bumps That weren't even my fault were held against me for months No matter the amount of times I said sorry and meant it And the number of times I tried to fix The mangled mess that wasn't mine but that I was still apologizing for It was like going to war But I waged it and gave my best effort To stitch and sew up the jagged cuts Of long angry nights and an alcohol filled gut But failed and then apologized when the seams ripped and tore Because no matter what I did was going to restore What used to be Or repair the damage that happened before me And so I am sorry for that That I couldn't make it better because I lacked Whatever it was you were looking for But that constant state of feeling guilty is what sent me out the door And I am free of that weight now But I still feel the need to say sorry for every little mistake now Thanks to you I sound like a record stuck on repeat So I’m sorry that I say sorry too much But I never know when enough sorries are enough

There are hundreds of stereotypes. In my opinion, the most true one is about cheerleaders. Honestly, every cheerleader I have ever met is a ***** They will tear you down to where you're nothing and you hate yourself. I have had a bad experience with a cheerleader. The reason she got mad at me was because I ACCIDENTALLY stepped on the back of her flip flop. I apologized but she didn't care and gave me a ***** look. Luckily, I have a pretty good friend in that class and he kind of stuck up for me and called her a name. She definitely lived up to that stereotype though. Maybe it's just pointless high school ******** I don't know. I ******* hate her.

Stereotypes
my cousin liked to have breakfast at an open air café, with his fiancée, on Fridays the owner knew she loved French breads, having been schooled at the Sorbonne   the bakery made them at his behest     he would tell his staff to keep one for her and to bring a bag when served; she always saved half for later   rush hour was madder than usual   that night, until the bombs blasted and brought the synovial silence that comes in the wake of wondering, what has happened?     the sirens screamed soon enough and my cousin smelled the smoke   cordite, yes, but burnt baklava, Maamoul as well   his fiancée came to him that night   watched and waited to hear if anyone they knew   was lost, their hands clasped tight, breaths shallow, in the languid hush after the city slowed to its mournful rest   the sun rose, the skies clear, crisp, to their surprise, and they went to the café, where the owner apologized for the wicked, wicked world, and for not having baguettes after the bakery died

Baguettes in Beirut
A thousand nights ago, a little girl lay writhing in pain As drops of saltwater soaked the crimson-stained sheets Cries for help were silenced by the same ravishing hands that gripped her,as the man consumed her whole Her light was fading out,her hands stretched out towards a silhouette She was pleading, She was praying That the figure take a step forward,vanish the demon-man with her supposed light But the woman in the shadows did nothing She stood there cold as before She did not flinch nor expressed anything in her distant eyes She did not even claim the little girl after She left her underneath the darkness as the little girl died a million deaths It has been a long three years now and the little girl has grown And she feels all wrong Like she is too much Like she is never enough Because they took everything that she was You have cursed her with the belief that she can only attain love and enlightenment through another You have infected her with hate, now she craves the feel of the cold blade on her skin Her lips have grown fond of the taste of the poison And she constantly needs pain to numb the ache of emptiness This is not like those other ******* apologies because she is tired of apologizing for existing When you never apologized for the things that you allowed to happen Nor is this her playing the victim card and blaming you This exists to tell you that She is sinking The void is gaping She is losing And she is sorry for not being able to **** it up" Because when little girls bleed,they cry And what they need is a mother's caress to help heal the wounds Because when little girls get victimized,they feel pain And what they need is a mother to protect them and dry their tears But you don't know that and she is sorry She is sorry that you never lived up to your title She is so ******* sorry Mom –W.

I'm always hungry even though I just ate a while ago If I go without food for 2 hours my brain works kinda slow I eat all the time, even when I'm driving I wonder how it'll be to eat when I'm sky diving But there's a particular food that I always crave And if I don't get it, I tend to misbehave It's amazing and delicious, my favorite cake I'd go to any lengths for it, no matter what the stake I'd eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner I'd marry a pâtissier even if he was a sinner When it comes to cake I show an utmost devotion My bucket list includes having cake by the ocean But something happened this summer, which makes me tremble in fear And now when someone says "Cake" I tend not to go near I was in Spain, and I was looking for some cake I was whining and crying; my friend ignorantly sipped her milkshake So I walked on ahead and finally found a baker I paused my music; I was listening to Chet Faker I walked over to him and shouted "I WANT CAKE" He looked at his buddies and said, "This is the one we take" The baker and Co. suddenly picked me up; I was too scared to shout I just wanted my cake and I had no idea what this was about I tried to escape but it proved to be rather hard My friend had no idea I was missing; she was looking for an SD card I didn't wanna think about what might happen, I just wanted to go home The men had brought me to an outhouse that had a ceiling shaped like a dome Then they placed me down gently, and were almost too polite I turned around once I could finally stand and couldn't believe the sight A crowd was waiting at the back, just waiting to yell "Surprise!" A man shouted: "You fools! You brought the wrong girl, she isn't even the same size" They apologized profusely, but honestly I couldn't care less I just wanted to have my cake and get away from this mess I walked back past the bakers shop and heard something that gave me déjà vu "I want cake" said a tall girl; she smiled at me, she didn't have a clue

I think when I first saw you, I swallowed you like my anti depressant pills, and you settled into my stomach. When I first saw you, A thousand seconds in time wrapped themselves in silk, And became cocoons of memories. Turning into butterflies, they fly around in my chest. When I see your smile, when I hear your laugh, when I remember the stars in your eyes. When I first saw you, I wanted to breathe in all of the air of the earth. Because you... You took my breath away. When I first saw you, I wanted to live. For the first time in my life.. I wanted to  live. But minutes turned to seconds on our pocket watches, and you sat on the hillside of my insides with a gun. You sat there and shot down all my butterflies. And now.. I don't want to live. And I don't want to love. I want to die. You took love from me. You stamped at it with your feet like cigarette ashes but I'm still burning. You grabbed me by my throat and whispered, "I love you." And as you left me there dying, with my last breath I apologized for getting blood on your coat.

When I first saw you.
Long night drives with a can of golden liquid bitter bluntness are two ultimates that ease the shaky hands and ghosted thoughts You left me heaving through punctured lungs and broke every rib along the way and I picked up my scattered bones and apologized for the mess How many more cups of tea until I become harbour?

Corona over a cup of Twinnings
To one little boy, the world was a playground. Everything had its own degree of fun. And anything was a toy. Including people. As the little boy grew up, he played with lots of people Using his smile and his words. To him, they were toys. Easy to use, easy to throw away. Until he met a girl. The girl didn’t want to be a toy. She wouldn’t be a toy. She was defiant. She was special. She stood out. To a boy who thought the world was a playground, And wanted to keep it that way, The girl was in the way. So he kept her close, Not realizing he was becoming quite attached. But after seeing her smile at another, He became angry. But when he tried to throw her away She escaped. For years, the boy never saw her again. The boy grew into a man. And, though he still saw the world as a playground, He never forgot her. Sure, he tried. But she always came back. Making little comments in his head. Sometimes, he could see her face. And he would reach out. But she would turn away. The man was filled with regret. He would do anything Just to see her again. So imagine his shock, And his smile, When he found her again. He apologized. And begged, for the first time in his life, to start over. But this time, She wouldn’t be his toy. He swore to her he wouldn’t play with her. Instead, He would make her his equal. He would make her his only. He would make her his wife. To a boy who thought the world was a playground, She was his friend. She was the one. She was his Love. The world was just a playground...until he found her.

Don't forgive me because I cried Don't forgive me "even though" I lied Don't forgive me because I'm a kid Don't forgive because you could've done what I did Allow me to face my consequences Let me adapt to my circumstances Don't allow me my relapses Let me feel guilt in my synapses Please don't forgive me because I apologized Please don't forgive unless I realized The wrongs I did And the wrongs I said The crimes I hid And the crimes I fed Please don't forgive me Because I seem to feel guilty Please don't forgive me Because my eyes went all "melty" Please don't forgive me

Please Don't
I bent down to her ear and said Thank you for all you’ve done Not just for NY But for the World She looked at me expressionless from her chair I don’t think that she understood nor cared Then I handed her a little Bag Containing two lipsticks And two pencils I think she threw the pencils on the floor and Wondered aloud Why was everyone giving her pencils? She did not notice that of the two that I gave her one was stamped in gold With the one word Hustler And on the other, two Strictly Business I made no suggestions nor references I didn’t smirk I must have appeared a bit sweet A treacly aberration It doesn’t matter I had selected two perfect reds in LA One a bit more blue and one a classic vampish carmine Blood red can be a challenge even against pale pale Skin. Standing in the lift Fully attuned she caught me not merely looking into her eyes But seeing what I saw A death’s head? I hate when I’m caught doing that Under the fluorescent light She was dog rough Pasty with sad sunken eyes I was thrown, but by what exactly Her magpie distress? Her etheric calamity? Her puffy, aging face? We sat and spoke for a while later that night She did not recognize me at all and apologized maybe it was the next day that the three of us had lunch Everyone in good spirits The mandrake’s screams Forgotten with smiles and a wink Memory bamboozled and Make-up duly applied She took out the lipstick And redrew the lines She liked the shining black case with the little black ribbon for a pull She told our companion sitting on a stoop smoking cigarettes I like your friend and I wondered does she realize that we already know one another?

Thirty Hours ("lawyers" grilled a female midshipman about her ****** habits)
To whom this may concern, I forgive you. Even if you haven’t apologized just yet; maybe you never will. But I have held this hurt in my chest for far too long and I don’t want this rotting away my naive heart. I’m writing this with cathartic desperation and a patience that only comes from being angry for so long. I want you to notice the first sentence I wrote earlier. “I forgive you.” Note that I did not say “it’s okay,” or “it’s all right." There’s a distinction between what I did say and what I could have. I said that I forgive you. When I say that, I acknowledge that you have wronged. You have hurt me and we both ought to recognize that. If I’d said “it’s okay,” I would be subtly telling you that “whatever you did, it’s okay, it’s all right.” I didn’t say it’s okay because it’s not. Whether or not you come to terms with it is not my business anymore. I hope you find yourself within these words and make peace with yourself, and I hope you don’t make the same mistake with another individual. Without Wax, Someone Whose Scabs Have Only Recently Become Scars *P.S. I may have forgiven you but that does not mean that I trust you just yet.*

Open Letter Series II: To Someone Who Hurt Me
On Christmas Eve I was talking to my brother It was 2:30 in the morning We had both been drinking. I read him one of my poems. That one about surviving myself. It sparked a conversation. The tough kind. About suicide. I told him I truly believed most people Dont WANT to die They just want the pain to stop I told him it was a cry for help. He told me my first attempt was not. He said with tears rolling down his cheeks "You were done that night." With tears now streaming down my cheeks I replied "I can't talk about this. Not tonight." "I know." He cried "Did you ever get help after that night? After seeing me like that? Did you talk to someone?" "I couldnt talk about it. It was too hard." At this point we're both bawling. I wrapped my arms around him. I apologized. See that's the thing about attempting suicide and surviving. If you're lucky enough To survive You have to witness the pain everyone around you feels. Because of you. I never use to think it was selfish. Not until Christmas Eve. I broke my brother. 6 years ago. And he's still haunted.

vulnerable
Out on the road in the middle of the night, I made my way with no one in sight. Hugging all the tight corners and vrooming on the straights, Burning tyre rubber at alarming rates. Little did I know at that hour along the next turn, There'd be another person. With the wind in her hair and one of the most lovely face, She rode her little pink vespa with amazing grace. I happened to have crossed paths with her in a traffic rule breaking fashion, A move I made with deadly precision. Instantly she uttered that lovely swear word with a sweet loud tone, ******* she said, raising her middle finger alone. Wrong I was and would've apologized if I could stop, But in a hurry I was and a high speed it all to top. Late that night, those stream of events ran through my head, I pondered on it as I lay in bed. Swear words! Instantly blurted in the spur of the moment, Yet originating from the heart's deepest cavity and vent. Pure to the core, No hidden meaning they store. Swear words may have been considered in appropriate and shunned in the world, Yet they convey what a person feels most appropriately when they are hurled.

Swear Words
My problem is that I don't follow my intuition, even though it always comes to fruition. It took me some time to really you down. You had my head spinning, round and round. Ignoring the clues and the giant red flags. I still blame myself for everything you did that was bad. I trusted you with secrets, bit by bit. Was it all just too much for you? So, you had to split? Why should I feel guilty for being ignored? I'm the only one wondering, should I have done more. But that's the whole point of your fun and games. You emotionally strung me along like I was shackled in chains.   How many times have I apologized, for you hurting me because you're emotionally desensitized?

...Dealing with YOU...
There was once a sheep and a dragon. The dragon loved the sheep very much, more than she loved herself, but the dragon could never express her love because she was afraid she might hurt the sheep. You see, sheep and dragons don't belong together. If the dragon were to breathe fire on the sheep's wool by accident the sheep would die. If the dragon accidentally stepped on her sheep, she would never see his handsome smiling face again, and what good would that be? So the dragon cried and cried. Then there was the sheep. Sheep loved dragon too, but none of his sheep friends thought that he would be cool if he married a dragon. They would make fun of him, call him names and his parents would shun him. The sheep knew that the dragon could hurt him but he wasn't worried, he would wrap himself in something that wasn't flammable and he would be sure never to walk underneath the beautiful dragon. The problem was, the sheep couldn't figure out if he loved his family or Dragon more. So he went to seek help from the wise Turtle. Turtle lived very far from sheep, but sheep thought that the walk was worth it to find out what he should do. When he arrived at Turtle's house, he was invited in for tea and Oreos. After the small snack, Sheep got right to business and he told Turtle his predicament. Turtle laughed and shook his tiny, Turtle head. "My child," Turtle said "If you really loved Dragon, everyone else's thoughts wouldn't be important. Prove to her that she matters." Sheep shook his head. Turtle hadn't solved his problem at all! "You are NO help you crazy old turtle," yelled Sheep. And he stormed out. A day or so later Dragon went to see wise old Turtle too. She told Turtle about how she felt about sheep. Again, the wise (and now crazy) Turtle laughed. He thought that young kids didn't understand true love. "Let go of your insecurities Dragon. Sheep loves you and he accepts everything about you, he loves the fire that you breathe, even though it can burn him sometimes and he loves your big feet even though they can stomp him sometimes." The Dragon went home thinking about what Turtle had told her. A week later Sheep and Dragon went together to see Turtle. Sheep apologized for being so rude before and said that he thought about what Turtle said and realized that he was right. Sheep loved Dragon and that was all that mattered. Dragon blushed red, like the fire she breathed. Turtle turned toward Dragon and asked her what she had learned. Dragon said she learned that even though she may be insecure about some things, she shouldn't let that get in the way of being happy with someone that she loves. Turtle laughed for that last time in this story and said, "Love is a funny thing, sometimes we don't always see what is there" with that being said, Dragon and Sheep ran away to live happily ever after.

Tomorrow
It was raining the Saturday I hired the carpenter, but I think it was acid rain from all the poison you let escape into your body. He was a drunkard, and he apologized through sips of alcohol. It was the color of your blood when I found you in fits and I begged him to wash them out of the carpet, but through every sip he said your name just like the walls do. I begged the maid to clean up the razors but she never did. The maid came in two hours late and she didn't seem to mind my frustration. Much like you never seemed to mind when you said the right things all too late. She swept secrets under the rugs and listened to the creak in the floorboard whenever any weight was put on this old wooden floor that reminded me so much of your weak shoulders when I needed a place to hold me. The builder was far too early, and the maid never cleaned up in time. The builder tried desperately to rebuild the walls, but they shook at the weight of another's skin on mine, and the builder whispered "I think you need him back." I dismissed him, and the force of my door slamming (much like the force when you left that night with everything but me) was enough to destroy every wall. Gardeners came in flustered at the work ahead of them. There were scars on my heart running up the sides like vines and it was far too thick to be cut down. I envied the fresh dug up dirt encasing the weeds that I so badly wished would hold my body too. You see I tried to burry myself in your mind but you kept pushing me out and now the dirt is the only thing that promises certainty.
