Oh, if you knew the amount of resistance
I summon from the moment I awake
to resist constantly apologizing
For each imperceptible mistake
From asking how you are feeling
With too serious a tone
To not chuckling right on cue
At your most recent subtle joke.
That I’m not pleading forgiveness
After each social exchange
Is nothing less than miraculous
For one who identifies as socially strange
Believing my words inflict wounds
Despite the kindness of intent
And my presence evokes discomfort
To those who strive to be present.
I could refrain from saying “I’m sorry”
As my one default catchphrase
But in the future event of hurting you
I will overly apologize away.
The Therapy of Words 
You know this is a problem
being too overly apologetic
it is in your heart’s bottom
want to change the feeling
this hinders all the chances
to have a life truly awesome
when needed we say sorry
learning how to do it right
it’s surely a step nearer
for our souls to blossom.
