A Poet's Apology To Poetry
I apologize to my creativity,
I abandon it a long time ago
Gave up on my dreams, because
Possible became impossible to me.
No one was listing,so I stopped speaking
so many trapped words
So many trapped feelings...
I apologize to my pride
Never meant to take you through that ride,
never meant to break you down
when i Told you I would stand by your side
Because it’s just me, myself
...and I promised to survive
I apologize for the lie’s...
not the one’s that I have told others
but, for the ones I have told myself
I'm apologizing for fearing my truth and my abilities,
for rejecting my blessings,I apologize for just settling
for allowing realness to became ruler over my imagination,
allowing my morning to be filled with the same pain as my darkness
I apologize to my creativity,
And I apologize to my dignity…
it will never happen again,
please forgive me.
