I Am Sorry...

A Poem

I Am Sorry...

My emotions are all over the place.

My mind is filled with a million things.

I overanalyze everything.

I can’t always appreciate the good things in front of me.

I can’t express how I feel.

I’m unable to fully explain myself.

I hide things for fear of being cast away.

I sound like a petulant teen when I’m upset.

I can’t stand up for myself when confronted.

I have a hard time letting people in.

I don’t ask for help when I need it.

I’m not ready to settle down.

I’m not ready for the big romance.

That I hurt the people I love.

I fall to my knees when I’m stressed.

That tension makes me hide in my safe space.

I let people dictate how I’m doing.

I had to follow a certain formula to be happy.

I listened to those who told me I wasn’t good enough how I am.

For not believing in myself.

I didn’t fight for myself sooner.

I didn’t see how awesome I am before now.
