i am sorry i became so toxic
that my waste leaked into you
i'm sorry i didn't realize
how much you are struggling too
i am trying to remember
where i left my cape
so i can once again cover
these bruises and scrapes
i am trying to become
a good friend again
but it's hard when the only way i know
is to pretend
i am sorry
for losing the happy facade
because the best version of me
is no more than a fraud
- to my readers, friends, and family
