Sorry, Not Sorry

I owe no apology for me being me I owe no "i'm sorry" if I offended thee I will never apologize for speaking my truth Being sorrowful is uncalled for, for words spoke in youth Any plea for forgiveness will fall on deaf ears I was thoughtful in every vowel I spoke in my years I have no justification, if it reduced you to tears I somehow found joy in exploiting your fears I was what I was, that fact remains true But instead I can tell you just what I will do I will assure you to help bring out your best Can guarantee that I will try to help and invest In bringing you closer to a better place of mind I solemly swear, No words of unkind With a vow somehow, change hearts on this planet The covenent I explore is deep, I don't fully understand it My obligation to mankind runs deep in my veins I pledge to help relieve all the pains and the strains The intention, with no pretention, is be who I was Without the selfishness, or need for applause

We must choose our words carefully. There may come a time when we do have to eat them. I like this poem, Grandpa:)
