Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry i'm ignorant, rude, and mean
I'm sorry i couldn't see what needed to be seen.
I'm sorry i left you, alone and bare
I'm sorry i let them all stop and stare.
I'm sorry you're hungry, wet, and sad
I'm sorry i didn't give you anything i had.
I'm sorry your parents didn't want you at all
I'm sorry i didn't listen every time you would call.
I'm sorry that right now, you're too cold to sleep
I'm sorry i'm smiling, too drunk to weep.
I'm sorry i didn't care when you needed my help
I'm sorry i see you as nothing more than a whelp.
I'm sorry i'm not there, to hug you, to hold
And i'm sorry it's too late for your story to be told.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry i'm dirty, smelly, and poor
I'm sorry there's no house, no rooms, no door.
I'm sorry i'm ugly, grotesque, and small
I'm sorry when you have everything, i have nothing at all.
I'm sorry i'm here, blocking your view
I'm sorry when you ask who i am, I don't have a clue.
I'm sorry i sit here all day and all night
I'm sorry i'm not smart, almost dumb, but not quite.
I'm sorry my clothes are all tattered and torn
I'm sorry they've been this way since the day i was born
I'm sorry I have no manners, no job, and no food
I'm sorry that i begged you, when nobody said i could.
I'm sorry that you thought i was hopeless and a freak
And i'm sorry i'm here dying, making your roads even more meek.
