Almost like a
Pimple on my forehead
Scratches on my glasses
I'm bothered now

Your voice sounds like
Lawnmowers
On a perfect morning
Your mouth tells me one thing
Your eyes tell me lies
Pathetic
I won't forgive you

Sorry

But I can't love
You a day or a month
Longer than I have
Because
You're different now

© Anna Y., St. Robert, MO

The author's comments:
I wrote this for my Creative Writing final exam. We had to follow the same syllables as the poem titled Apology by William Carlos Williams and follow the theme of apologizing. I was really proud of it because I wrote it on the spot and thought I should upload it here.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

thank you so much. it means a lot to me! now that I am looking at it, the title doesn't fit (you are right). It didn't have a title to begin with so I just came up with something quick. Thank you so much for your feedback
