I apologize for this poem in advance

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I've been a broken fucking record
my entire life

this is all my fault
what did I do wrong

I'm so sure
it's me
it's always me

I apologized to a man
in the grocery store
the other day

he was standing in the aisle
while I was turning my cart
around a corner

he said
DON'T APOLOGIZE
TELL ME TO GET OUT OF THE DAMN WAY
which made me smile

because
yeah

dude was in my damn way.

firefly

I just saw a firefly
in the daylight
like a fish
out of water
its light useless
in the face of the sun
but still flying
still alive
waiting for the dark
to shine
