Analysis of Sorry

Angela Crabtree 1982 (maine)



Sorry for the things I have done. Sorry for the things I haven't done. Sorry for the things I'm about to do. Sorry for even being born. I'm sorry that I ever even tried to die. I'm sorry that I never ended taking my life. I'm sorry for a lot of things but I can't take them back now. I'm sorry I ran away and said bad things. I'm sorry you had to hurt me. Sorry my life never co-in sided with yours. Sorry you hate me so much. I'm sorry I love you and I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry you need me but I need you too. I'm sorry our life didn't work out. I'm sorry you died. I'm sorry you hate me. I'm sorry you care. Sorry for the things I have done. Sorry for the things I haven't done. Sorry for the things I'm about to do. I'm just sorry all at once.
