I'm sorry!
I squeak
Opening my mouth
In an attempt to speak.

Don't you apologize to me,
I'm told.
You don't need to apologize for anything.
They're convinced I'm sold.

I'm sorry
Echoes in my head.
Maybe I should stop talking
And bothering you
Maybe I should stop living
So I could shut up on cue
When told to not apologize

But I can't help it

And when I die

Each grain of my ashes will be apologizing,

for hitting the dirt.
