I'm sorry for messing up
I'm sorry that I'm not enough
I'm sorry for being incomplete
I'm sorry for being a freak
*
Just forgive me for my sins
Close your eyes and please forget
All the times that I fucked up
When I didn't give a shit
*
I want to apologize
Let you know that I'm not fine
*
I've lost so many dear to me
Can't make up for it at all
And I am wreckage
Of pain, hurt, and sorrow
*
I'm sorry for my looks
I'm sorry for what I took
I'm sorry for hurting you
I'm sorry I wasn't there too
*
Just forgive me for the wrong
Close the wound that bleeds
All the days I go my way
When I can't see your needs
*
I want to apologize
Let you know that I'm a lie
*
I tried but without effort
I am brave yet being fake
You had every right in the damn world
To just walk away
*
So I'm sorry
For everything that I've done to you
Oh I'm sorry
For being lost....without a clue
*
I only want to apologize
And let you know
I cry
*
You are gone from my life
You've cut off our all our words
You made it clear I'm a nobody
Just someone full of hurt
*
If I could apologize
Let you see my welling eyes
*pause*
So I'm sorry
For all the times that I wronged you
Oh I'm sorry
For all the words I spoke
And all the words I never will say to you again
*
I only want to apologize
And let you know
I tried
*
I'm sorry
Can you
Forgive me?

Your comment was posted, but it wasn’t long enough to count as a review. Reviews need about four complete sentences (at least 250 characters). Try writing another review that explains your thoughts in more detail — the author will appreciate it, and you’ll earn points for it.
I, um.
Hmm.
Well, at first glance, I can't think of any constructive criticism because I would advise you not to change a thing. No, seriously, this piece does something it's very hard to do right: self-deprecation. Too often it can come across as overdramatic self-flagellation or guilt tripping, but the starkness of the word choice helps get across that the speaker (singer?) means every word.
If I absolutely were forced to pick something I would suggest changing, I would try to shorten the line "and all the words I will never say to you again" because it might get awkward trying to sing it, but then again it could also work with the right musical arrangement.
Well done.
Wow.
I could try to say something, but as I'm not a great reviewer who notices small details, I'm not going to try to jump over my shadow.
All I can say is that it's a very well written poem that has a lot of raw emotion in it. I love the honesty of this. The author is not trying to hide their mistakes, they have their heart on their sleeve. They admit they have been wrong, they try to apologize... all of this makes the poem feel very human. It is beautiful, great job.
thank you @emoglobiin and btw I love your username. I tried to be honest in this and didn't really edit it, just threw words on a page, you know? But thank you again
A lot of poems are about trying to 'win' an argument, and so something like this is always really refreshing. You spoke about pain and regret in a way that I think that many people can relate to.

Every three or four-ish stanzas were grouped nicely, although I would have liked a clearer theme within the groups. That would make your poem a lot more powerful.
But aside from that little bit of technique, you really do write well. Keep up the good work!
Awe, thank you
I know you're probably thinking I'm spamming you with comments, but your work is just so easy for me to relate and be drawn to. The pain and suffering you manage to portray with each word is beautiful and sad at the same time. One of the hardest things to say in the dictionary is, "I'm sorry." The struggle to battle your pride and admit you did wrong is hard, and then one day it's just too late for an apology. They're gone. I can't say I understand your situation, but I can definitely relate with each syllable.
No no, I'm happy to get reviews from anyone. I appreciate you spilling this out to me. I admit that a few days ago I gave someone about five reviews right after each other, since they had such amazing work. :3 stay beautiful
Well then you're most welcome. Keep writing, you've got a talent.
