Analysis of Sorry?
You ever feel like sorry isn’t good enough
Like it doesn’t sound sincere anymore
You say it too much and it loses its meaning
I hate it
I hate myself for it
I feel uneasy knowing that I could say sorry
and you’d have to question if I actually meant it
I hate that I have to even use it in the first place
I hate how stupid that was
I’m sorry
And yes, I mean it

About this poem
This poem is about the feeling you get when you do something that feels unforgivable, something that you wish you could change, something sorry doesn’t even fix
