The things I do are not always my fault, but sometimes it is. I do not try to do the things I do. I try to make you proud and happy, but all I do is bring you shame and sorrow. For this I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the shame I have cause you. I'm sorry for giving sorrow. I don't try to do the things I do. I try to please you with me. I try to get good grades, but still seem to struggle. I'm sorry for not helping you when you need it. I'm sorry for the way I speak and act. I'm sorry I'm not the child you always wanted, but I try to be. I'm a young girl with a heart of steel, I act like a boy because I don't want to be weak. But when I see you hurt due to my shame and sorrow, the steel on my heart melts and the strength I show goes away. I turn into that little girl that you use to know. I cry because I can't make you happy. I'm sorry for your sadness, for you sorrow and shame. I'm sorry for not being perfect for you.
