apologize

all i ever am

is sorry.

the words float around my skull day and night,

"I'm sorry."

sorry when the back seats are squished

because I'm taking up room

sorry when I'm talking too loud,

too much

too obnoxious...

sorry when i don't speak a word,

when i withdraw.

sorry when i am so happy i annoy everyone

sorry when I'm so sad i forget how to socialize 

sorry that i ate that

sorry that i couldn't eat

sorry that i try

sorry that i fail

sorry that i cut

sorry it wasn't deep enough

I'm just

so

sorry
