apologies to no one

i'm sorry

i'm sorry if my voice sounds weird
i'm sorry if I offend you
i'm sorry if I hurt you in any way
i'm sorry if you now hate me

but I'm not sorry about what I said
i'm not sorry for expressing my opinion
i'm not sorry for how I look
i'm not sorry for doing what I believe in

because whatever you say or do
will never change what I believe in

whenever you lash out at my beliefs
you make them stronger

whenever you spit out hateful words
it only makes me more determined

so I'm sorry if I hurt you

but I'm not and never will be sorry for believing what I believe
for loving who i love
for doing what I think is right
