I'm Sorry

A poem to my friends, to my family, and everyone inbetween.

I'm sorry,

For the honest things I've said,

For hidden signs I should have read,

For judging all the times you bled,

And for thinking lies were all you spread.

I'm sorry.

 

I'm sorry,

For the times I wasn't there,

For the times you thought you couldn't share,

For the feelings you couldn't bare,

And for letting you think I didn't care.

I'm sorry.

 

I'm sorry,

For failing because I refused to try,

For believing every single lie,

For defending him and making you cry,

And for hurting you over a stupid guy.

I'm sorry.

 

I'm sorry,

To you my family and friends,

Maybe I'd be better once my heart mends,

Maybe if we'd stop following the stupid trends,

Or maybe when high school ends.

I'm sorry.

Sometimes high school can be overbearing but cheer up .. The meaning that are you trying to get across is in depth and alot of emotion you placed in your poem.Sometimes when you don't understand a guy and he lies as much that you don't know what to believe anymore b/c you love him/her.There is noone that hasn't made a mistake by taking up for their boyfriend i don't think i haven't meet anyone of my friends that have fell head over heels for a guy.a mending heart takes some time to heal especially when you thought he was the one... no offense but yor family and friends should support you when you are going through the trial of heart break.Great metaphors and word usage.Its beautiful!

First off I like the poetry in this one. Second, I like the subject matter. Sometimes saying I'm sorry is the hardest thing we can do.

I really like the rhyming, and the repetition is good. Its wonderful, this is my favorite poem you've written that I've read so far (and yes I have read more than just this one). I like the responsibility and honesty of it especially... it's beautiful- and really sad. I really like it though, nice work.

Wow! This..I like! It's got beautiful form that works great for getting your message across. You word choices and the use of repetition really helped keep the reader moving on down the lines.

The topic is one that is relatable in many ways to the rest of humanity; Helping draw the reader to not only read the piece, but feel it when they do.

I loved the last stanza most of all. How it gives a sense of hope, as well as setting the scene into the minds eye.
I liked that this wasn't a pointing fingers situation, rather it was contemplation and acknowledgement of issues gone wrong. It was an introspection into the self, which was felt deeply all the way through.

I think the poem displays insight into facing real issues inside a real person. Not the typical cover up but the courage to see where I went wrong instead of blame shifting. Good write thanks.
