I’m sorry for the things I’ve said

I’m sorry for the things I didn’t say

I’m sorry for the things I haven’t said yet, but will

Is that what you want to hear?

I’m sorry?

I’m sorry for the air I breathe

If I didn’t, you could

I’m sorry for the food I eat

If I didn’t, they would

I’m sorry I have all these nice things while you have so little

I’m sorry I’m loved while you’re searching for a sense of belonging

I’m sorry, but this won’t help you

Making me feel lower and smaller

Will not make you feel higher and taller

All it will do is pull me down so that I am with you

But, I’m sorry, I cannot keep you company

As you pull me down, you also push me away

I’m sorry I wasn’t there, but you didn’t tell me

I didn’t know

I’m sorry you felt helpless

I’m sorry I couldn’t see you needed me

But, most of all, I’m sorry for what society has done to us

I’m sorry we now live in a world where we can’t reach out

I’m sorry life is hard

And I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed a hand

I’m sorry I didn’t take the knife away

I’m sorry I didn’t call for help

I’m sorry you felt this was the only way

But what does this matter?

‘I’m sorry’ doesn’t change what’s happened
