I Won't Apologize

December 3, 2022
By Anonymous

In third grade,

There was a boy

Who did not like me

He told me

I looked like a whale

Even after five years, 

He never apologized

Maybe thats why I always do

 

In fifth grade,

My supposed 'friend' bullied me

And my other friends

Because she was jealous

But I was oblivious,

And I didnt understand her anger

So I do think it was my fault

Even if my attempt to reconcile failed

And ended in flames

But she never apologized

Maybe thats why I always do

 

Last year, 

In seventh grade,

My best friend

Left me for another group

And it did hurt,

But I didnt cry

I let it happen

We lost touch after a while

Maybe it was for better,

Because they never apologized

Maybe thats why I always do

 

Odd numbers arent much my luck,

Are they?

But maybe they're yours,

My apologies

But this time I promise,

No, I swear

That I won't apologize for it

I wont let anyone walk on me anymore

Sorry,

Starting now
