I'M Sorry Poem by jordan erickson

I'm sorry that I'm useless
in my families eyes
I'm sorry that my attempts at life are fruitless
in all I try

I'm sorry that I can't do what you ask
when I'm not well
I'm sorry that I basked
at the beauty of your smile without a word to tell

I'm sorry that I'm not who you want me to be
at all
I'm sorry I let your dream
for me fall

I'm sorry that I don't look the way you want me to
in the least
I'm sorry that my eyes aren't as pretty blue
as they used to be

I'm sorry that my heart is breaking
for someone who doesn't even know me
I'm sorry for the noise
of my pained screams

I'm sorry if I woke you
from such sweet dreams
I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth
I'm sorry I'm me.
