I'm Sorry

Nobody's perfect,
I am the perfect example.

Everyone makes mistakes,
I have a list of them.

My words never come out right,
I say things I don't mean.

Words spilling out of my mouth,
A waterfall of sentences.
A tangle of letters,
Forming thoughts I never wanted to reveal.

Thoughts that aren’t true,
And never were.
Hurting the people I care about,
Was never part of the plan.
If only they could truly understand,
How sorry I really am.
