I'm Sorry

I'm Sorry

A Poem by Suzy Q
"

Over these feelings :}

"

"Remember no one's perfect."

Then why does everyone expect me to be?

I'm no more than you are.

I'm sorry I don't know better,

Even though I should.

 

It's that mask I'm hiding behind

That makes me so vulnerable.

I act happy. Even though, inside,

I'm dead.

The thoughts that go on inside my head

Seem logical to me,

But I know I'm not that smart

So give me a head start.

 

I never meant to cause you trouble,

But I'm tired of doing so.

And no matter how hard I try

I can't seem to please you,

Yet you think I decieve you.

I guess that disguise I made of a "happy girl"

Doesn't make sense to you anymore.

Sorry I try to grow up a little

Just to make you love me.

But it seems I'm the immature one,

I'm the only one I have to blame.

Why am I the only teen that's not treated the same?

You forget. I have emotions.

No matter how hard I try to be that black hole I say,

Things get to me too.

There's those dreams I'm not allowed to pursue,

That hurts. Plus, I obviously don't matter.

I'm a waste of space and mass.

 

And then people wonder

Why I don't give a damn.

Maybe because I've been taught to be selfish.

Or maybe I just think about myself before others

Because no one would put me first.

Maybe it's because I've been rejected

Or because I've been ignored.

I know I can't take much more

Before I blow up.

So please don't make a fuss

About something that I say

Or something that I do

Because most things I say may or may not be true.

This is a poem of enlightenment. Someone is stating her case. She has a lot to say and no one has ever listened. Well it is about time before she explodes. Will anyone notice?

Wisdom in your words. Easy to make mistakes. Hard to repair. Sometime I believe people need a stronger shell of protection from words. Words are easily spoken without thoughts. I like the ending to the excellent poem.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy books and that's kind of the same thing. Always felt I'd find the meaning on paper, don't think I've found myself yet, yet happiness is right where it is.. more..

Writing
You. You.
