sorry

i mumble under my breath as she pushes past me.

sorry

i mumble about the bad grade on the test i didn't study for.

sorry

i mumble as i log off the game.

sorry

i mumble as i can't hear you for the third time.

sorry

i mumble as the yelling downstairs echos into my microphone. 

sorry

i mumble when i'm too uncomfortable to take selfies. 

sorry

i mumble when i'm afraid you're mad at me. 

sorry 

i mumble as i apologize for things out of my control.

sorry 

i mumble because it's been forced into my head by those who hurt me, 

that if i don't make the situation right, 

if i don't apologize for their/my/your mistakes,

it will only get worse for me, 

and you don't want to see worse. 

sorry

i mumble.
