I'm Sorry by Holly

I can't be perfect,
I can only be me,
I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you.

There's a lot of bad in me,
And I'm struggling to stay on the surface,
Many parts of me have died away.

But I'm trying to keep something alive,
And writing is one way of doing that.
I'm sorry if my expressions are ugly in your eyes, but that's me all over.

If I can't make things beautiful or inspirational, that's because I'm only doing what I can.
If I can't be as intelligent as you are, well, I've only been alive so long.

It's the truth.
And the truth is ugly.

Hi Holly,
sweetie, all that you write all that you create comes from the heart, no one is perfect i am a parent and i'm still tryin' to perfect myself in my own eyes, sometimes i become my own enemy,i will on occasion make an error , who doesn't , bein' a parnt is the only thing in this life that keeps my heart alive,all that you create is fantastic, and i was always taught to believe as i passed on to my children whom are no longer children, unconditional love never needs an apology, constructive criticism, need not be fatal,i try to be a friend as well as a parent.sometimes i'm more of a friend than a parent..it helps me understand. i believe what you write is proof that you have a heart that reaches out.we must all feel free to express within our own ability and capacity with out gettin' shot down a rung, keep wrtin' you express well, take an expression away you take a heart away..keep your heart alive in your words.and sweetie Intelligence isn't an ignorant heart...intelligence is expressin' with out ridicule and shame...sometimes it takes a parent a bit longer to understand a young heart..
sometimes it comes and is accepted like a brand new day
