Sorry

I could probably be apologizing all my life
For saying the wrong things
Or saying nothing
For acting out dreams
When I should be working my butt off

I could probably be apologizing all my life
For not conforming
For not having a clue what I’m doing
For breaking or displacing things
In the simple act of living
For being some kind of failure
Before I even begin, again

I could probably be apologizing all my life
For being a male
For being me
But no thanks, you know?
I’ll pass

So sorry love
