does not seem legit
how many sorrys you have
Disingenuous

you throw up sorrys
like confetti. Please stop ‘cause
- comes down like glitter

thrown out to placate
your sorrys are throwaways
a placate party

Confetti it up!
your sorrys are meaningless.
Glitter everywhere.

Places it shouldn't be
only function? Distraction
pretty as it is

Please. I beg of you
keep your thank yous and sorrys
can’t clean up the mess

Leave the empty thank yous
Hyperbole pleasantries
And just do better.
