Yahweh

I am sorry I can't be the kind of man you wanted me to be.
I can only be the kind of man that I am.
I am sorry I put duty and love over principles and all that jazz.
It's how I was raised, it's who I am.
I am sorry for being so far away, when I need to be close by.
But funds are tight, it's where I am.
I am sorry that I wasn't what you expected me to be.
My soul was bare, it's the way I am.
I am sorry that I confused you by striving to please you,
It's my nature, it's what I am.
I am sorry that I nitpick and argue over trivial things,
I'm stubborn and petty, it's how I am.
I am sorry that I lack any superstition or magic in my life.
Cold logic: it's why I am.
I am sorry if you should come across and read this poem.
Because it's me, it's a composite of all I am.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like this poem. I believe never be sorry for who you are. We are built by life and experience. Hard to change someone on a destine path. No weakness in the poem. Just honest and direct words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
