I'm Sorry I'm Alive

I'm sorry I'm alive...

I'm sorry I am an

obstruction.

I'm always in the

way,

even when I am

out of your way.

I'm sorry I have an

irritating voice.

I'm irritating when I

speak,

even when I don't say

a word.

I'm sorry I don't do what

is required.

I'm useless whenever I

do anything,

even when I do nothing

at all.

I'm sorry I've ruined your

life.

I know I am a burden.

I'm sorry that I breathe...

I'm sorry I'm alive.

[An owl on the moon]

I've only know you here a short time, but in these aching words I only see what some horrid, hateful people may have said, not who you really are. Your words and life lift everything around you, my friend. So may you find your life only shining brighter today, and every day after.
