I'm Sorry
By Nate Paul
I'm sorry
I'm not perfect,
I really try to be.
I'm sorry
I get so wrapped up in presenting myself well
that I forget to patiently and intently listen.
I'm sorry
I get frustrated with you
but I'm so scared of confrontation
that I don't try to reconcile.
I'm sorry
I expect you to do what I cannot.
I'm sorry
I'm not able to live-up
to my own expectations.
I'm sorry
for setting my expectations so high.
I'm sorry
that I doubt my own abilities
so much
that I'm afraid to lead.
I'm sorry
for keeping quiet,
for holding back my wisdom and insight,
for letting you walk alone.
I'm sorry
I've doubted your ability
to love me
despite my faults and mistakes.
I’m sorry
for not telling you
I love you.
