poem: “i am sorry”

I’m sorry
for doing you wrong. 

I’m sorry 
for all that went sour. 

I’m sorry
for putting you out of your comfort zone. 

I’m sorry
for all that I did. 

I’m sorry
for being a bitch. 

I’m sorry
for always doing wrong. 

What did I do wrong? 
I always ask, 
I always wonder, 
but I never know. 

I’m sorry 
for all this shit. 

I’m sorry 
for trying to be,
more than I thought I could be. 

I’m sorry that I never know. 
I’m sorry that I’m a mess. 
I’m sorry that I couldn’t be my best. 

I’m sorry 
for inviting you. 

I thought that we could have some fun. 
But that’s not how it worked out. 

I’m ranting now. 
I’m freaking out now.
I’m crying now.

And once again, 
here I am, 
left to doubt myself, 
once again.

i’m sorry for who I am

poem: “spoiled gals”

They’re over the top,
they never stop.

Gossiping left and right,
they don’t seem too bright.

Complaining about their life,
bringing up new strife.

Their every want is gifted,
their every need is lifted.

Attempting to block them out,
but they continue to shout,
how they deserve more and more,
to be honest, it’s getting quite sore.

High school is hell,
yet they’re catered to with a ring of a bell.

They claim that their life is tough,
but in reality, there are ones more rough.

I wish that they would hush,
and stop with their neverending rush.

They’ll never listen to my insight,
carelessly doing what they think is right.

My eyes roll,
they leave such a toll,
on my mind and sanity,
these girls overflowing with vanity.

Life is not easy-peasy,
they’re gonna grow up to be sleazy.

I’m tired of this shit,
they don’t listen one bit.

Karma is a bitch,
and she sure won’t miss,
these basic white bitches,
will one day hope that she misses.
