I’m Sorry
I’m sorry that I exist
I’m sorry that my meekness annoys you
I’m sorry that I’m tender and petite
I’m defenseless and voiceless
I trusted you to love me though my love for you is pointless
How did I become your punching bag
I used to mean the world to you
But your rage came down to crush it down
I used love your smile but now all I see is a frown
I’ve lied to my friends and family to hide you
I now wear make up to hide the black eyes
What have I done to you
I’m trapped in a cage of hurtful words and fists
I lied to the kids to protect you integrity
I’m used to the pain that is gradually eating me
I’m sorry, I’m sorry I made a choice to love you unconditionally
I’m sorry my presence makes your fists itch
I’m sorry I’m a woman
I’m sorry, I’m sorry I chose you over everything
I’m sorry that other men look at me the way they do
I’m sorry that my friends wish to dine with me sometimes
I’m sorry I laugh at facebook jokes
I’m sorry, I cooked your favorite dish when you’d already eaten out
I’m sorry that I still wish you’d take me out
I’m sorry I took the kids the park
I’m sorry my life is worthless to you
I’m sorry
