my sincerest apologies

By missanthropic

sorry i'm late,
sorry about failing,
sorry about being a female
sorry i'm new,
i think differently
and i don't have enough money
sorry i'm not like you
i'm so, so, sorry my truth makes you uncomfortable
sorry i'm not a magazine cut-out
but i have more to offer,
and i'm sorry i don't depend on you
sorry i am incapable of following blindly,
because my god is different than yours
i am sorry that you think i'm just a stupid bitch
sorry i can't walk in five inch heels
sorry, i didn't call
then again, i'd be sorry if I did
sorry i don't fit into that box
that i don't have a past,
or i've been misled,
i am sorry that you can't handle me
so very very sorry that i'm sorry about being sorry
whats that? oh, you say? thats okay?
well, sorry
i don't need your permission
or acceptance because,
and this is what i am mostly sorry for-
i never have and never will,
no matter how hard you or i try,
be any less or more than what you've become
sorry you didn't see
