An Apology Poem by Moon Fairy

I apologize
For seeing things in a blind light
I stare with closed eyes
Reading the unreadable sight

I apologize
For hearing nothing but silence
I am deaf to anguished cries
Listening to uncertainties so dense

I apologize
For speaking in a muted voice
I sing silent lullabies
Shouting a soundless noise

I'm sorry, I really am sorry
For castrating myself with tall tales
I do not see, hear nor speak reality
For I cannot bear the pain it entails

I'm sorry, I really am so sorry
For having the strength not the courage
I am the pessimist in every story
Always passive and in calculated gauge

With this I admit my guilt
For existing only for death's glory
I imprisoned myself with this wall I built
Surviving but breathing barely
Owing myself this apology.
