If I Say I'M Sorry

So, If I say i'm sorry For what I say or what I do Does my apology really matter If I don't believe it to be true? All of our perceptions are contingent On what we hear and what we see Beliefs get formed It's a large part of our subconscious biology So, what you might find to be offensive Perhaps I might find to be true If that bothers you immensely That's not on me - that's on you So if I offend you, you allowed it You gave strength to my words You gave me power I never had I find that funny, and quiet absurd When you allow your emotions dictate the narrative You rationalize your thoughts to be the truth You create your own reality Victimization typically ensues The key to all our issues The true liberator of our mind Is to discern with logic and reason When dealing with trouble in hard times So I'm sorry if my position Offends you in any way However, the only person you can change is you When you acknowledge, it makes for a better day For me - Im sorry isn't needed For what you think, or anything you might say I respect your right to say it Because my self-esteem - makes everything ok
