"I say 'sorry' a lot. Mostly because I feel like everything is my fault."
﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏
I say sorry alot
I have to admit
It's the most common thing
That I say
And just maybe; mostly
It's probably because
I feel like everything
Is just my fault
It's my fault you failed
It's my fault she's crying
It's my fault he's questioning
It seems I always cause trouble
••
I always hated that
I felt like a failure
I thought I was a mess up
A total screw up
••
But maybe I was wrong
Maybe it's just because
I chose to view it that way
••
The failure I caused
Was a failure that saved
And contributed to greater success
The tears that were shed
Was the greatest turning point
Disguised as something grave
The uncertainty felt
Changed a decision
And possibly saved a life
The 'bad luck' I cause
Is the temporary sting
Before the lasting prosperity
↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭
The time I've wasted
On one certain thing
Wasn't completely time that left
I put that time
Into another passion
And strived and developed myself
I learnt from mistakes
I learnt acceptance
I learnt what only 'failure' could teach
I learnt perspectives
And deeper meanings
And appreciated the unknown
※※※※※
I said sorry a lot
Mostly because
I thought everything was my fault
Now I say it out of habit
Even if things go wrong
There's always hope of light coming soon

I wrote this for a challenge on Wattpad Amino.
Things don't always go as expected. They can take a turn for the worse. But sometimes, it isn't as bad as it seems. You might not realize it then and there but it will present itself sometime in the future.
Do you find yourself apologizing often? Do you really think it's your fault? Is the outcome always as bad as you think?
Until next time,
