Poem: An Apology

An Apology

I’m sorry, but I don’t care

I may be drunk with sins, satisfying my needs

My conscience may be rotting as a corpse

Morals never do stand in the way of my deeds

I do what I want regardless of life’s course

I’m sorry, but I don’t care

Your harsh words may sting with ice

But they will never affect my heart

Lecturing endlessly, say you’re being nice

You say that giving up is the hardest part

I’m sorry, but I don’t care

My heart may be made of stone, my mind dead inside,

And my soul may have been sold to the devil

When previous foes come looking I don’t hide

And you wonder how I can stoop to that level

I’m sorry, but I don’t care

Your opinions about me were never high

But they say the apple never falls far from the tree

I may shed a tear, but I never cry

I never surrender, complain, ask, or agree

The truth is that you were never really there

And I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I don’t care
