Vessel of apologies.

All I have left in me

is apologies.

I’m sorry I wasn’t enough

I’m sorry I was too much

I’m sorry I feel a lot

I’m sorry I don’t say a lot

I’m sorry I think too much

I’m sorry I lose focus

I’m sorry I want you here

I’m sorry I want you to care

I’m sorry for being this person

I am a full vessel

full of apologies.

this is pain

Pain is a stigma.

No one shows off their pain for fun.

No one proclaims their pain in open spaces like “yes I endure pain , I’m not ashamed.” 

Pain keeps us hostage.

our freedom ,

it seems far – fetched 

because our pain forces us to be slaves to

our strained minds 

our broken hearts 

our weary souls 

and lastly , our tired bodies.

Pain takes over our lives and 

it’s difficult but it can’t win.
