I’m sorry for everything
I think,

to forgive, I must say i’m sorry
i’m sorry for having felt that way
it still hurts and I’m holding onto it
while whispering into my palms

By saying sorry
it will go away, float on,
Melt.

there has been some noticeable progress,
growth
not outward but
my tolerance,
my pain threshold,
Those have definitely expanded

my eyes being full,
