I Am Not Sorry

I’m not sorry, For being who I’ve always been, Would it have been so hard, For you to simply let me in? To fall back into silence, I fall back into tears, I’m crying and I’m screaming, But you have your hands over your ears, I won’t lose myself in this, To try and mend this tear, I watch you go from mask to mask, How many can you wear? Too many for me to tear off My fingers numb and blue Can’t pry off another mask So I can’t get through to you I’m not sorry
