Dear Mom & Dad.

by Phantasmagoria   Nov 9, 2007


I'm sorry for not being perfect
every second of every day.
I'm sorry I just couldn't take
what you would always say.
I'm sorry I couldn't keep it together,
but the hope was fading fast.
I'm sorry I'm not smart enough
to turn away from the past.
I'm sorry I ruin everything
I didn't mean to be this way.
I'm sorry you never loved me
and that you can't let me stay.
I'm sorry I'm not very pretty
and I never participate.
I'm sorry that this has to end,
but I simply cannot wait.
I'm sorry that you're reading this
even though you're to blame.
I'm sorry that I ever lived,
I hope you think the same.
I'm sorry that I hurt too much
and I can't get rid of my scars.
I'm sorry that I ever cut
and never reached your stars.
I'm sorry everyone will soon know
how you made me feel.
I'm sorry that the dried up tears
can't make your lies real.
I'm sorry for these past few years
and for being such a waste.
I'm sorry I chose the wrong path
because I didn't want to be erased.
I'm sorry that it took so long
for me to write this note.
I'm sorry that in a minute
I will have slit my throat.
I'm sorry I won't be there
to justify your sorrow.
I'm sorry that I will be gone
by the time you wake up tomorrow.

    Wow....just wow....i.....i cant even type right now...this is an amazing poem...i felt the pain of this person as i read i felt as if i was sitting there next to them while they wrote this note..and it is more true then anything that we never feel like we will be good enough for our parents and unfortunatly this is the path some kids choose to take...but wow... great job...im still crying thanks for sharing this with me.
