To all those before
I'm so sorry
I wish I had been better
I wanted to be good enoughI strived for greatness
It was just out of reach
Far from my touch
I say that I'm fine
But I'm dying insideI'm so sorry
I wanted more
I'm so sorry
I couldn't fight
I'm so sorry
To say I was fine
I'm my own worst enemyI fight my pain with music
It blasts through the speakers in my ears
It's the only thing
That will ever fill the void
Of loneliness
In a sea of people
I've never felt more aloneI'm a fish out of water
Oxygen isn't my friend
I find it hard to breathe
With the weight on my chest
Telling me you'll never be good enoughAll I can say is
I'm so sorry
To you and for me
I'm a worthless excuse
And a waste of space
So I say, I'm so sorry

RandomThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
