So Sorry

I’m sorry I was not sad enough to please you.
I’ll try harder next time
to squeeze out crocodile tears.

I’m sorry if I did not mourn
the millions I did not know.
I must have an evil soul.

I’m sorry I am not happy
like you are happy
with the life I was dealt.

I’m sorry I put my own suffering
before I put the suffering of strangers
in must have a rotten mind.

I’m sorry I did not cry for them,
but not sorry that you will not cry for me
when I’m gone.

I really liked this piece. It reminded me of so many times when you actually are ok or you just don't want to show emotions.

How you doing?
