When I say
Sorry...
I mean it

And I know I say it a lot,
To some too much.
They think that it doesnt mean anything

But you'll notice through close inspection,
The instances in which I say sorry...
Are very specific:

"Sorry for being in your way"
"Sorry for interrupting"
"Sorry for speaking so loudly"
"Sorry for breathing so obnoxiously"
"Sorry for telling you how my day went..."

But I've noticed through close inspection,
The instances in which you say sorry...
Aren't so specific:

"Sorry for lying"
"Sorry for lying"
"Sorry for lying"
"Sorry for lying"
"Sorry for lying..."

I dont want to hear it anymore
So just shut up

I will scream into the mirror until my throat bleeds and I cant speak

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

Punch myself until every bruise on my body matches one "sorry" softly spoken from my lips

"Your own friend couldn't even stand to be near you long enough for you to say that annoying fucking word, sorrysorrysorrysorrysorrysorry"

Are you happy?
Are you happy that you broke me?

Sorry for wasting your time with this shitty poem.
