I apologize, yes, I do,
I apologize for not forgetting you.
For the peace you never sought,
For the battles within, forever fought.

The problem was yours, it always had been,
A mirror of truths, too hard to be seen.
I apologize to myself for caring too much,
For holding on through a fleeting such.

But I’m glad I never gave in to despair,
While you let go, I chose to repair.
Now I release, I’ve done my part,
The weight lifts gently from my heart.

The answer was there, so clear, so true,
Hidden, yet waiting, it’s always you.
And now I see, with clarity and stealth,
you’re selfish with self, and everybody else.
