My Apology

by Tanya
(Ireland)

Will you tell them that I’m sorry? The people that I love?
Tell them that I’m sorry I was never good enough.
Tell them that I’m sorry that I was such a waste – of time, of space, affection, that I never found my place.

But most of all I’m sorry that I have been too weak, to lift their heavy burden, but I could not see them weep.

I could not fill their hearts with pain, though it could be for the best.
For them? Oh no! For me, oh yes, for I could not pass this test.

My life has made me weary, fraught with worry, pain and strife.
I fear I may not live to be a mother or a wife.
But still I struggle through the pain, the tears and sleepless nights.
So they never need to read this, all the people in my life.

They never need to know how hard it was for me to struggle, through daily life, through all these years I’ve spent in my own bubble.
So if the day should ever come, though I hope that it will not.
Tell them I apologise and I gave it so much thought.

Try to make them understand it was my fault and not theirs.
I made my own choice, by myself after all these years.

I never meant to cause the harm my whole existence wrought, but I’m sure they’ll all be with me right up to my final thought.
