Dear Me...

Dear Me...

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry that I lied
I'm sorry that I gave to them
most of your precious life.

I'm sorry for concealing
the you that was inside
I'm sorry that I stole all you were
and took away your pride.

I'm sorry that I stood down
when you needed to stand up
I'm sorry that I filled up
only half of your cup.

I'm sorry that I waited
and through your life I scanned
I'm sorry that it's almost over
before it even began.
