My Apology

There are people That I want to apologize to I have said offensive words And told painful truths about I shouldn’t judge like this And cause hurt in the inside No matter what was done It’s not worth the pain within I want to retract the words And to give them kind remarks I desire to be loving and caring So I must ask for forgiveness For the crass words said I apologize for the pain Russell Sivey

"I shouldn’t judge like this And cause hurt in the inside" --Very introspective take on "painful truths". Keep up the good work.

Sometimes it is to easy to say something that offends. It is more difficult to say sorry. You have done the hard part if there is any truth in your story....cheers Margaret

well, I don't know who you hurt but this was sure a sweet apology, Russell. Who could stay mad at a guy like you?? Oh, and thanks, for my placement in your last contest! Luv, Andrea

wow Russell this is a magnanimous piece and gesture to pen luv... cannot imagine u being crass to anyone but words wielded do tend to hurt .. apologies are even harder .. u have done effectively ... thankxx so very much for my 4th place for "Valuables"..though my luv life is strong ..recalling past hurts is easy... hence words flow to fit the theme.. so appreciate the honor and recognition ..

You said nothing wrong in my opinion, my friend. Blogs are for expressing one's viewpoint. This will all be forgotten by this time next week : )

I don't think you need to apologize for venting your feelings. they were "painful truths" that needed to be said. this site is not about plagiarized work, no matter how kind and supportive the person is who's doing it. at least that's what i thought...so don't feel bad about it. it's drama and it will pass :)

Oh it didnt click that this poem was regarding that issue...meh Russell, its a storm in a tea cup luv..sadly on here lately, theres always something not to far away that'll take its place. Hacked sites, plagiarized work, the haiku mafia breathing down your neck...its all fun and games. xxx

We all say things we regret from time to time Russell, even if said with the best intentions but your right, words can hurt and can be a very powerful tool in life. Life is for learning my friend xxx Tracie
