I'm sorry

How do I say it? How can I say it?

What else can I say?

I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything. For everything that’s been done, and everything that should have been done. I’m sorry for all the times too much was said, and for all the times too much was kept quiet.

But what can I do? Sometimes that’s the only thing that can be said. Sometimes wishing I was able to help, able to change things, isn’t enough. Sometimes the only thing I can say is, “I’m sorry.”

I’m exhausted. Someone stronger, smarter, could help more. I’m not being emotional, I’m stating facts.

Because I shut off. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything I said, and I’m sorry that I didn’t say everything I should have.

I really am.
I really am sorry.
