Sorry
i always apologize when i cry
tears start falling and suddenly it's like i'm asking for forgiveness
forgiveness for what? i don't know
i have no reason to apologizei mean it's just salt water right?
my body's way of expressing intense emotion physically
why does it feel wrong though?
i've known the answer to that for agesi don't like feeling vulnerable
crying makes me feel weak
insecure
helpless
i don't like feeling thatwho does anyway?
but crying is needed
i know that
it doesn't change my feelings
i can't control itmy need to apologize
to say sorry
for letting myself be vulnerable
for letting my body express what's in my mind
for letting my feelings get the best of meit's as if i expect
for the tears to stop
for concerned looks to fade away
for the pain, the emotions
to lesseni can't stand it
just one little word
makes me feel like shit
vulnerability isn't weakness
it's strengthor so i'm told anyway
i can't seem to get that in my head
i mean i know it consciously
subconsciously?
that's a different storyi just want to stop apologizing
i don't want anymore sorries
they don't make me feel better
they don't take away my feeling weak
they're pointlessbut i can't
they still escape
no matter how hard i try
just the one little word
and for thati'm sorry
