I am sorry
I didn’t allow myself
To know, at first.
I am sorry
I allowed myself
To create a story
About you.
Only to pale in comparison.
I let myself fall in love with shadow.
While the Goddess,
Stood before me.
I am sorry for creating a lie
Instead of seeing who you are.
And,
I am sorry for asking you to remember,
Without ever having known you
In the first place.
I feel I’ve failed
Not just you,
Myself.
I’ve sent you so much pain
It keeps me stuck in fear
Because even though I don't deserve you
The whispers of hope
Are never silent in my ear.

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.
