I am Sorry

I often introduce my poetry with an apology;

"I am sorry for showing you something that I am proud of,

for I know I do not deserve any amount of self love."

I have been denied any amount of self worth for

so long that I slip it on and off discreetly,

like a glove, yet still,

I secretly dream of the day my words will fly freely from my mouth,

like gorgeous confident doves.
