Am sorry

I'm sorry for everything I did
I'm sorry for every word I said
I'm sorry for every tear you shed
I'm sorry for not using my head
I'm sorry for being misled
----------------------------------------
I'm sorry for being like the flu
Hurting, disturbing and bothering you
I'm sorry for having no clue
I'm sorry nothing from the things i said were true
----------------------------------------
I'm sorry am not smart
I'm sorry I have no heart
I'm sorry let’s have a fresh start
I'm sorry sweetheart

[In my opinion the short rhyming needs something a litte extra to really inject emotion into this piece, right now it's very basic in terms of the rhyming words]

[The last line confuses me]
----------------------------------------
I'm sorry I am not smart
I'm sorry I have no heart
I'm sorry let’s have a fresh start [This sentence sounds very awkward and spoils the mood of the piece - you seem to be apologising for all these serious things and then suddenly asking for a fresh start]
I'm sorry, sweetheart


So, as I mentioned before, poetry isn't my strong-point, but I did feel that this piece lacked something - maybe a sense of emotion of the narrator and maybe the simplicity of the rhyming - what I feel you could do in order to improve this is try and explore different rhyme schemes and rhyming words to give your poem that extra excitement.

Hope I've helped!

I liked this! There are a couple of pointers here thought that I would like to go through.

English isn't your native language so this is impressive :) But there was one big error in this.

Am sorry am not smart


All the 'Am's in this should be 'I'm' and then it makes a lot more sense. But seeing as this was consistent I guess you just forgot the exact way to write this :)

Another point was here:
Am sorry for every tear ... you shed


I don't think you need the elipsis here, it just breaks the rhythm and it would be better without it :)

Other than these little things I liked it. I thought that the rhyme scheme worked, except for here:

Am sorry for being like the flu


This seems a little forced. Rhyming dictionaries are a great thing to use if you can't find a natural rhyme.

My favourite stanza was the last one, but I did enjoy it all. And I am pleased to say that you have improved a lot from the last poem of yours I read! So well done! :D

Hope I helped,
Keep Writing,

Thanks Lydia and i will do everything you said :)
Thanks again

Hi Huthaifa,

I quite like this poem, however I'd like to make a few suggestions;

'Am sorry for being like the flu,
Hurting, disturbing and bothering you,
Am sorry for having no clue,' - This part is good.

Who the hell were you? - This sentence doesn't quite fit in with the others, maybe you should change it.

Also, throughout the entire poem you wrote 'am', but I think you were suppossed to write 'I'm.' Other than that the poem is sweet and sad, whoever you intended this poem to be for is likely to accept your apology :)

Keep up the good work.
