I’m sorry, mom

For making you cry

For making you fear for the day I might die

I’m sorry, dad

You pretend to be strong

But It’s hurting you to deal with this for so long

I’m sorry, little sister

Don’t look up to me

I’m not the kind of person you want to grow up to be

I’m sorry, big sister

You’re missing my spark

I wish I could find my way out of the dark

I’m sorry, my love

I know you’re trying your best

But how can you date someone who can hardly get dressed?

I’m sorry, my friends

I’m not much fun

You say you’ll be by my side til this battle is won

I’m sorry, my body

You’re so very weak

At this point your future has begun to look bleak

I’m sorry, my mind

for making you ill

With toxic thoughts and chemical pills

I’m sorry myself

For letting you go

Will I ever get you back? I have yet to know.
