I'M Sorry

I’m sorry I’m not who you think I am.
I’m no valedictorian;
I’m just mere spam,
Only there to be of annoyance.

I’m sorry I don’t do what is expected.
I don’t always think things through,
I often need to be corrected,
Whether through scolding or consequences.

I’m sorry I’m not the daughter you desired,
Well-behaved, top grades, and always obedient.
But I am who I am, always inspired
To be creative and innovative.

I realize now being sorry isn’t right.
It’s who I am, not something that can be changed.
Instead of schoolwork, I like to write.
Nothing I try can change that.

You may not approve of what I do,
But I am still your daughter,
Through and through.
Accept me for me.
