Forgive me,

I'm drained

all I feel is pain

I'm sorry I lied to your face

I'm sorry I was being fake

I was acting like a snake

I don't know why I made that call

I really cant explain at all

now I've dug myself a really deep hole

now I'm looking like a fool

I'm sorry

Please forgive me

About the Creator

ALEXIS Harris

My name is Alexis. I’m 16 and striving to be a poet. After being locked up for 7 months, I learned to face my emotions instead of hiding them. Poetry became my voice, my healing, and my way to grow. Writing turned my pain into purpose.
