Sometimes an excuse is real

Sometimes an excuse is all
That we have

Sometimes an excuse all that we think
Is needed

Sometimes an excuse is all
That it takes

Sometimes an excuse can sum
It all up

Sometimes an excuse just
Can’t

Sometimes an excuse isn’t some
Lie

Sometimes an excuse is the reason
For all that is wrong

Sometimes an excuse couldn’t be
Helped

Sometimes an excuse couldn’t be
Prevented by omnipotent hindsight

Sometimes an excuse can’t be
Fully explained

Sometimes an excuse explains
Everything

Sometimes an excuse is all
That it is

Sometimes an excuse is something
More


The author's comments:
I've never liked when someone told me, "I don't care about your excuse!" So I wrote this poem explaining what excuses mean to me.
