I’m sorry that my birth was the hardest for my mother to bear.

I’m sorry that the umbilical cord wrapped three times around my neck didn’t kill me.

I’m sorry that I’m lazy and incompetent and not good enough.

I’m sorry that I can’t be great like my sister.

I’m sorry that I don’t want to be great like my sister.

I’m sorry that I want to be great like me.

I’m sorry that I’m not sorry that I’m alive.

I’m sorry that I’m not sorry that I’m awesome.

I’m sorry that I’m not sorry.

I’m not sorry.
