Irredeemable

I AM:
irredeemable
I AM:
a mistake
I AM:
an incubator

How many times
do I have to say
I'M SORRY?

How many times
do I have to admit
I WAS WRONG?

YOU DON'T WANT:
to hear about my pain
YOU DON'T WANT:
me to be honest
YOU DON'T WANT:
me

What DO you want
from me?

And yet, for all of this,
I will still try.
And yet, for all of this,
I still want to be a part of your life
And yet, for all of this,

I will probably accept any scraps you might throw my way
