I want to be beautiful like you,
but my insides get so ugly sometimes.
How long can I continue
parading around in these shoes,
so big?
I am bound to
trip and fall.
If you knew
the thoughts that plague me...
Even the sincerest of apologies
wouldn't suffice.
And yet, what more can I do?
I'm sorry.
This poem intrigues and saddens me. What I find remarkable is that I can see so many different scenarios surrounding these words. You are a great talent, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteSo evocative Ali. <3
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Ali. They're lines are like music lyrics to me. It makes me feel so much, and can easily describe how I can feel sometimes. But it's truly beautiful, and such a humbled apology. I have to admit, I don't often understand poetry, but I love your poetry, and this one really resonates with me. Thanks for making me think hard today and really take some time for introspection.
