I’m sorry I wasn't that daughter you've always wanted,
I’m sorry I wasn't that friend you hoped for,
I’m sorry I wasn't that sibling you needed,
I’m sorry I wasn't more.

I never really made the cut,
I never really was the best,
I never really got to average,
I couldn't even pass that test.

The test of family, friend, and sibling,
The test of pain, sorrow, and strife,
The test of love, joy, and happiness,
The test of my life.

I know I never belonged here at all,
I know I’m worthless and just a coward,
I know I couldn't bear this pain myself,
I know that by death I was devoured.

Perhaps you never gave me a second thought,
Perhaps you thought I was just a piece of dust,
Perhaps you didn't even see me worthy of life,
Perhaps you treated me with disgust.

I've been hoping too long for love now,
I've been aching for attention too much,
I've been longing for the sense of importance,
I've been waiting in death’s clutch.

Always a follower was I,
Always a person of no value,
Always someone without a mind of their own,
Always one with no hope of rescue.

I’m sorry I wasn't the perfect child,
I’m sorry I couldn't be a better friend,
I’m sorry I never loved you more as a sibling,
I’m sorry for bringing such an insignificant thing to an end.
