A Thou$and Apolog! E$ Poem by tanvi damle
A Thou$and Apolog! E$
I was too busy doing what i wanted to,
I had no time to notice you.
In a hurry, i use to rush by,
always failing to notice a small tear trickling down your eye.
It was 12am and i still hadn't come home,
you kept trying my cell just to get a busy tone.
When i came back, 'leave me alone' was all i said,
and slammed my bedroom door and went straight to bed
I never bothered to apologise after any of our fight,
& slept soundly while you cried all night.
When i used to come back from college, you always asked me how was my day,
just to see me give a shrug and walk away.
I never noticed the smile you used to fake,
and i never saw any of your tears, your heartbreaks.
I know what i did was alot more than just a mistake,
but to make it right I'll do whatever it takes.
I wish that i could find a less cliche word for sorry,
all i want right now is for you to forgive me.
I know i never did the things you wanted me to,
but I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
-Dedicated to 'my parents'
emotionally charged piece.very nice.i love the flow and wording.
I could feel the remorse in your words, and I believe you reading it out to your parents, maybe on your knees, will make your mom (esp.) , the first to forgive and give you a hug.
I like the theme Tanvi but why do you not just use normal words. You sound like a normal teenager to me. You write in modern freeform poetic prose have you ever tried to write using metre and rhyme. I am sure your parents will be glad to know how you feel
so honest, a situation we've all been through im sure your parents will love your emotion =) 10
A very good realization after all...forgive and forget, that's all it takes. Fantastic!

this very typical adoloscent behaviour pattern...and we learn a great deal from it if only we internalise the process and that's what you just did. i love to read poetry written by youngsters...keep writing dear young poet...my son is also born the same year, same month!

Emotionaly charged, perhaps the final verse could be softened a little. But otherwise well done.
