POEM STARTER
Write a poem about an apology.
What is the apology for? How is it received?
Writings
Hell-raising, you could scorch the earth with your cold gaze
Flag raising, have to be the one to give in nowadays
Defeated army, retreating, just to meet your ass halfway
Pity plays portrayed by the ones who are insensitive
The ones who we must forgive
The ones who we’re embedded with
The ones that think an apology is where the victory is.
See, in a perfect world, you would be the perfect girl
Bu...
Sorry to your ego
We were never really friends
Even with the the two year gap
You couldn’t read between the lines
Just because you were older
Doesn’t mean I wanted you
Just because you play guitar
Doesn’t mean I’m falling for you
So stop telling everyone how much I love you
Stop telling everyone I have a silly crush
Instead could you ask that tall brunette
The one who play piano endlessly and nev...
I’m sorry for all the things
I said
Or didn’t say
How you looked me in the eyes
When you sighed and walked away
Like we were never lovers
It was just another fight
We’d kiss and scream
Just to have make up sex
in the middle of the night
My stomach held butterflies for you
But I self destructed
and tore their wings in two
Blue like your sapphire eyes
Black like your Maserati driving away
Think...
Sorry I suck at this,
I wanna be active I do,
But I’m trying to get words down,
On my future bestseller,
(Sorry I’m delulu)
Working slowly,
but at least I’m writing,
I keep saying I’ll be more active,
But I never do!
I’ve told you about my book a little,
Even though you didn’t know that’s what I was doing,
But we will see if I can get the first draft down.
Anyway, reading my old writin...
I’m sorry
I’m sorry if I need extra reassurance
But you see I got my mom’s anxiety as If it were a river running through my blood
Constantly thinking I’m not enough
I’m sorry
I’m sorry I say yes even when I want to say no
But I have my dad’s need of pleasing the people that I love
Even if it slowly strips away my own life in the process
I’m sorry
I’m sorry I feel as if I’m never wanted ...
Dear world,
I have a confession
I am one of your many pollutants
I’m a waste of space
That harms this race
And I’m afraid to say
I sadly can’t erase
My wasted days
But you know what I could do?
I could chose to leave you
Jump off a bridge
Or utilize a gun
Or chug some chemicals
Like someone I know tried once
Would it be fun?
Probably not
But that’s ok
Since I’m the one
Wasting your resources
...
I’m sorry I ever left you.
I’m sorry I broke your trust.
I’m sorry I hurt you.
I’m sorry I wasn’t there for you.
I’m sorry I let her near you.
I’m sorry I let her hurt you.
I’m sorry I didn’t help you.
I’m sorry I let you down.
I’m sorry I still can’t fix it.
I’m sorry I don’t know how to help.
I’m sorry I don’t know what to say.
I’m sorry I am not enough.
I’m sorry that all I can seem to say is
I...
I apologize.
**Why?**
I apologize
for not being able to hold eye contact
or finish the technique
or do anything right.
I apologize
for the stutter I get
or the wincing I randomly do
or the pained smile I smile after I am defeated.
**You’re being stupid. **
I apologize
for being so rude
and for not speaking when spoken to.
I apologize
for being stupid.
And for thinking I blended in.
I apologiz...
