I'm Sorry
September 20th 2009 04:58
(Not poetry, per se, just an outpouring of emotion/reflection in response to a question about our ability to forgive and/or ask for forgiveness of anyone who's hurt or been hurt by us. Sometimes it's not about the number or age, but about the need to forgive or apologize.)
I'm sorry you can't see YOU ... the way that God sees you
I'm sorry I'm impatient, I can't wait around till you do
I'm sorry you have problems handling ... the truth
why did you ask the question, ya knew I wouldn't lie
I'm sorry I lacked courage to fight that fight with you
I'm sorry, yes I'm shallow, but that belly paunch won't do
I'm sorry I was in denial and helped perpetuate the cycle,
but I thank you for the honesty, our relationship's come full circle
I'm sorry for the words I spoke in anger, unfortunately, I can't take them back
I'm sorry you used it as an excuse, to hastily make tracks
I'm sorry you stayed away so long, you can't seem to find the road back
I'm sorry she won't know you, unless you find the courage to act
I'm sorry for the years, I just didn't wanna be black...
Yeah...that's right I said it... and I know it was really whack,
but I figured, it's still betta, than losing myself to crack
I'm sorry I complained for so long, hiding behind others wrongs
I'm sorry I missed a lesson or twelve, because I refused to delve
My trust in You was shaken, because of issues I wouldn't shelve
I'm sorry I was so sensi-ma-tive, no one could tell me the truth
Thank God for change, it's not all bad, heck I might change my name to Ruth!
I'm sorry that I finish your sentences, not allowing you much of a voice
I'm sorry that all I give you, most times, is multiple choice
yes it's true I really don't know it all, just pretend a lot like I do
because I lack(ed) the courage to say, "Baby I don't know, do you?"
I'm sorry I walked by you, avoiding the plea in your eyes
I'm sorry I classed you as hopeless, and moved right on with my life
But don't worry I learned my lesson, three years later I walked in your shoes
A Note to those of you entertaining thoughts of: "if only", "when I" and/or "I just wish I"
I'm sorry, so, so sorry you weren't blessed with _____________ ! (Insert your greatest desire(s) here) But let me tell you a secret... when He created you, He gave you all you would need. So what might seem like a shortage, is really excess weight He spared you.
