I Won't Apologize
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
I happened to be thinking about my elementary school since my last year here is coming to a close and what better memories than the one that hurt me?
