Sorry...Forgive Me

Sorry I am not like you,

I apologize for not being able to reject a friend

I am not capable of blocking out, not looking

I am incapable of not caring...I apologize

I cannot in my soul turn away from anyone in pain

forgive me

I do not think that any thoughts given

deserve to be flushed and forgotten...I am sorry

I will not look at myself and see only me...forgive me

I do not think the world of myself

without others I would not know what feelings are

I come across softly with a light touch...I care

and I am sorry

If you can forgive me please do

for one day you will need a soft touch, a light whisper

and I will be there no matter what you have done to me

I would give my life for you even if me, you despise...I apologize

forgive me

I float, watching, I see so many things

some good, some bad

I do not judge...sorry,forgive me

I give advice quietly,kindly,without an angry tone...

please forgive me..I am sorry

Never be sorry for caring, for trying to be a friend. While I realize at least part of your motivation behind this poem, your words apply to the "real world", where it is too easy to just give up. Stand tall, keep caring, and take the advice offered in the Desiderata and "strive to be happy." Holly, this poem does what poems should - brought out feeling, and shared it with like-minded souls.

[Holly Mason]

thank you those words are so sweetly given
like-minded souls-nice touch teach*)

This poem really goes to show that there are still good, kind, thoughtful people in the world:) People like you, Holly, make the world such a happier place! Thank you for being such an inspiration to me, and so many others!:)

[Holly Mason]

You are ALWAYS very welcome:)

[Frieda P]

Not sure if this is a confession of sorts, kin/friendship or someone blocked you, either way, intriguing read, as always Holly.

[Holly Mason]

no I have not been blocked, I think
reading the reviews of some just come across so cold they were not even my reviews I just cannot treat people that way and when I see it I react
you are a light on here for sure and truly
I have been on here less then two months and I have watched so many leave I feel for them
thank you for your words and now I know how to spell intriguing*)

[Frieda P]

I felt it might have something to do with such...you're a kind soul Holly, such is life, you keep writing your lovely words, we're here to listen. My pleasure.

[Eagle Cruagh]

Hi Holly.
You may be writing (in the poem) to all
humanity, BUT I feel like a voyeur, an outsider
looking in at an explanation you are giving to
men in general. You wish to be accepted as
a kindly friend, but you do not want to be caught
up in a web of emotion.
It`s a very revealing and well written poem.

Thank you
Eagle Cruagh

[Holly Mason]

Thank you sir a web of emotion can be very draining with or without a spider
thank you for reading

[Eagle Cruagh]

key words: "Sir" and "draining"
Hurry and get well

[Corset]

exactly, right? do the right thing, apologize if it causes pain, it's all you can do, if you are beheaded... smile, chastised...laugh, tormented...beg for more, turn all four cheeks, lol, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

[Holly Mason]

thank you so...dusting off and starting over
Holly

[Paul Seaman]

this is really sweet. It transports me to the place I like to be. The vision that comes from perspective beyond this earth, yet applied evenly to all those you meet. I felt better after reading it. Vindicating my best and highest emotions. Apologizing for being kind is an interesting approach..

[Holly Mason]

so spot on grasp that I am beaming*)
thank you so

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Never be sorry for being yourself.
Never be sorry for being compassionate. Those that aren't should be sorry.
I do know how you feel, it almost seems like we get punished for caring about others.

[Holly Mason]

thank you for reading truly
and yes kindness is a burdening emotion at times

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

But worth it in the end. :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes,....."without others i would not know what feelings are"

that says it all...great line of truth.

[Holly Mason]

thank you...sincerely
those are the things that make us human
