What do you think this poem is about?

sorry for being me

sorry I’m not perfect
sorry I’m not true
sorry I’m not happy
sorry I’m not you

sorry I’m not there
sorry I’m not that extraordinary
sorry I’m not thin
sorry I’m just ordinary

sorry I’m outspoken
sorry I don’t share
sorry I don’t need you
sorry you were never there

sorry I’m not comfortable
sorry your the same
sorry that I won’t change
sorry I’m not game

sorry I’m here
sorry I won’t be gone
sorry you don’t care for me
sorry if I’m wrong

sorry for what I’m about to do
sorry but I can’t stay
sorry but I’m going to leave
sorry I’m just running away

    This is a really beautiful poem. I enjoyed the realism there, and the repetition, emphasizing the pain. The beat shows a good sense of pentameter, keep up the good work!

    I would appreciate your input on my own poetry, as I am new to this site. Thank you,

    Sincerely,
    Em Jay
