I’m sorry

But I did nothing wrong.

I know you think I did

But I’ve been quiet for too long.

These words need to come out of my mouth

Before I either scream or swallow them whole.

I’m sorry

But I couldn’t help but overhear

You say I messed up yet again 

Although I think your comments are insincere.

Am I really just making all these mistakes?

Or are you projecting your insecurities here?

I’m sorry

But I just can’t believe

How this door was before invisible.

I ignore your whispers with relief

And have found joy in the smallest corners 

I’ve never thought to look in before.
