Sorry
                                                              
You gave me a home in your near I had a place
Sheltered, full of warmth before so many days

I’ve grown a voracious sinner
Gained pain: utter, outer, inner

     
Gave me many presents and I’d never thought you’d stop
‘Quipped me with wide wings so that I could reach the top
This is my first apology. It’s not big, admittedly.

Sorry! I wasn’t good! Sorry! Didn’t do what I should!        
My whole life is a shame and it’s me who’s to blame –
Sorry! I wasn’t good.

Spent your time on me so that I got lots of strength
Then you saw how bad I was, the bad deeds of my hands –
Now I’m bereft of all my joy – lost, stray and my destiny’s toy

Paid me your attention, kept the misfortunes away
First I shirked from altruism then I turned towards betrayal
I was obsessed with myself; now I know I need your help.   


ADMISSION


I’m so sorry for all that I’ve done, that I’ve done.
I feel guilty for the deeds I’ve committed.

I feel filthy inside and the people I’ve hurt
Can now see me in plight while I creep through the dirt –
      
THE DIRT

I apologize for the lies.
I apologize for my sins.
I apologize for the fights.
I apologize for my being
                
What’s within.

Paining remorse bites my soul, spikes my spirit and breeds holes.
It devours ailing goals, leaves no remnants.
Throbs like vomit inside, will un-swallow my pride
As plain, putrid denial, by simply scraping its hide off –

HIDE OFF
