All I’ve ever done
Is apologize.
I apologize for me
And who I am.
I apologize for my beliefs,
My personality,
My likes.
And I especially apologize
For you.
Enough is enough.
I’m not sorry.
Not anymore.
Not like I used to be.
I’m done apologizing
For your mistakes.
I’m done feeling sorry for you
When you’re the one
Who’s hurting me.
Just because you have a hard life
Doesn’t give you the right
To take it all out
On me.
I don’t deserve that.
I have a hard life, too.
You know I do.
I struggle with school, too.
We all do.
And yet, I still put your feelings first.
That’s not how it should be.
It should be me and you
Not you and me.
I need to start taking care
Of me.
I need to lookout
For myself.
And so, from here on out,
I’m going to start loving me more
And start loving you less.
No more apologizing for me.
No more apologizing for you.
The sorry’s end here.
