I'm sorry that I'm not always okay,
I'm sorry for the tears which fall.
I'm sorry for not smiling everyday,
Sometimes I don't want to get up at all.
I'm sorry for not having it together,
Even in summer it tends to rain.
My mood's as unpredictable as Cape Town's weather,
Not even I know when the sun will shine again.
I'm sorry for being so icy and cold,
Some wounds take longer to heal.
My emotions are too heavy for my shoulders to hold.
I switch off because it hurts to feel.
I'm sorry you're inconvenienced,
by my weird humanly ways.
A journey of recovery is built,
On both good and bad days.
You can't have the sunshine without the rain.
