Apology

" I'm sorry",
Two words peple use way too comonly,
words used to get out of things they've done,
and it's too easy if you ask me.

So I'm not going to say those words,
while staring and listening,
as I look into the mirror, and give myself,
a long apology.

Dear Sarah,

I know you must be worndering,
how come I dress the way I do,
How come I feel insecure,
in my pants and leather shoes.

Well , this is because i'm so different,
That it's so hard to bare.
But I apologize for feeling that ,
because I know sometimes life just isn't fair.

And I apologize for ruining you,
with curling irons and Fake tatoo's,
for not thinking,
before I do something so stupid to you.

I apologize for causing you trouble,
And sending you to the emergency room,
Maybe things would have been different,
if I had taken better care of you.

Please forgive me for saying,
that I hated you sometimes.
And for trying to reach your goals,
and never reaching them in time.

I apologize for getting sick,
and restraining you to bed.
Forgive me , for every negative thought,
swiming in your head.

I apologize for walking in front of the mirror,
and avoiding looking at you.
And for not sleeping,
as Much as I know I need to.

BUT YOU'VE SEEN the dreams I've had,
that keep me awake at night.
I'm not here to make excuses,
I'm here to make things right.

And I apologize for lying to you,
when I said you weren't smart.
For saying that Love,
wasn't in your heart.

Because you ARE intellegent,
and as loving as they come,
So forgive me, Because sometimes,
I am the stupid one.

So Sarah,
Thats all I think that I wanted to say,
Please forgive me for everything,
That i've asked of you today.

And As I walk away from the mirror,
please walk away in me.
Let this bring us together,
Yes,
My apology.

This is truly 'your' apology....so many things in this piece hold true for so many of us but not 'brave' enough to admit it....we are sometimes our worst critic.

Interesting..rather than in my pants if with my pants were used the reader may see "pants" as in breathing in panic..thought anorexic could have been the illness..coz of the mirror playing a prominent part..

Sarah, this just brought tears to my eyes. I have struggled with so much of what you say here. And said in such a diffrernt, interesting form. Promise you will continue to believe every word- you are worth it. God has forgiven you for all of the past- sometimes the hardest part is forgiving ourselves. Bravo!
(sorry so mushy-lol)
Blessings, peace, and love to you!
Theresa
