I AM SORRY

I AM SORRY

A Poem by afra

I am sorry for not being the person you wanted me to be 

Sorry for letting you down and following my dreams 

Sorry for not being the daughter you expected me to be 

Sorry for letting all your hopes torn 

I know your lives much be much better if I was not born 

But I always want you to take a walk in my shoes 

Then you'll realize what I go through

This is a poem that portrays the guilt of sometimes
feeling like you're a burden, even to your loved ones.
They may not think you're a burden
but sometimes you just feel useless and hopeless.

But then you realise that perhaps
you're misunderstood.
And you set out to express your feelings to the world.
You let the world know what you feel.
You ask the world to come and walk in your shoes.

You also realize that self-pity won't get you nowhere.
So you embrace yourself in every way:
You embrace your physical beauty.
You appreciate the simple beauty of life.
And suddenly you're constantly inspired by almost anything.
Then you embrace and cherish your creative abilities.
You communicate your feelings with pen and paper.
And you refuse to ever bring yourself to think low of yourself ever again.

BECAUSE YOU ARE A VOICE THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR.
YOU ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE NEXT PERSON.
YOU TOO CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

Very nicely done. Just a couple things though: "Sorry for letting all your hopes torn" maybe.. "be torn" or "become torn"..? And "I know your lives much be much better if I was not born".. I think that first much should be a must.
