Reflections of Pain: The Burden of Sorry

I'm sorry, I whisper into the void,
For my fear that leaves me paralyzed and annoyed.
I blame myself for being a coward,
Unable to face the world, my heart's been soured.

Trust, once shattered, is hard to regain,
And I apologize for my inability to let it reign.
Words escape me, trapped within my chest,
Unable to express what I truly detest.

I'm sorry for the pain I inflict upon you,
A broken soul, causing your love to skew.
Each day, I carry the weight of my own sorrow,
Knowing that my brokenness brings you no tomorrow.

I apologize, again and again,
For the wounds I bear, for the tears I send.
But words alone cannot heal the pain,
And I'm left with regret, like an endless rain.

In this sea of self-blame, I drown,
Lost in a cycle of apologies, feeling down.
But perhaps forgiveness lies within my own embrace,
To mend the shattered pieces, find solace in grace.

I'm sorry, I repeat, with a heavy heart,
But it's time to forgive myself, to make a fresh start.
For in self-compassion, I'll find my way,
To release the pain, and let healing hold sway.
