I'M Sorry...

I’m sorry if I couldn’t show you the way I really feel; I’m sorry if I pretended that my nerves were made of steel. I’m sorry if I appeared to be someone I’m really not; And I understand if you want me to be someone you just Forgot. I’d understand if you want to make me into someone you can’t recall; I’m sorry that I couldn’t be at your every beck and call I’m sorry that things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to; I just couldn’t bring myself to settle on some one like You.

When we hurt people, we often feel like we need to apologize. But you are only apologizing for being true to yourself. I'm glad you had the strength not to "settle" for the wrong person. Excellent poem, Tirzah! Love, Carolyn
