What do you think this poem is about?

So Sorry

I'm sorry for what I've done
I'm sorry for who I've been
Sorry for where its gone
So sorry to lose a friend

I'm sorry I let you down
I'm sorry things can't be the same
Sorry for my impropriety
So sorry I'm the one to blame

I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough
I'm sorry for not following through
Sorry for dropping the ball
So sorry for me and you

    Great idea. When you don't have the humility/humbleness to apologize to that person from the heart, directly, just write a manipulative poem saying you're sorry. Magnificant idea. That way, your pride doesn't get hurt, nor your reputation for people knowing that you screwed up.

    Keep up the great word, Bri.

    'God' bless.

    Very difficult words to say, but it certainly lets others know that you area man or a woman when one takes the responsibility to do so. Fantastic write Brian.

    Brian, an excellent poem. Displays all the virtues that we all wish we had. It so easy to say sorry, but some of us just can't. It doesn't make everything go away, but at least it helps. Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing it.

    Excellent Poem Brian, Not too many people are compassionate enough to say they are sorry. You at least know how to. It really takes a good person to. Take care.

    Saying we are sorry can come very easily
    Being sorry whilst saying it, well, that is something quite different
    You have displayed the latter
    Well done Brian for a wonderful reminder for us all
    Love duncan X

    first i read this as sarcastic, then as merely flippant, and felt offended. like what does he really mean? i'm not sure i ever felt that you were truly sorry though. it was nice to unravel so many meanings....
