All Apologies

Show me someone who has never wronged

anyone else & I will wait idly for you to try.

There is no real good or bad, or perhaps

everyone who has ever lived hurts, then hurts

more from the hurt they give to others.

In the end, are we not all monsters—trying or

not trying quite hard enough to escape

our own dark? No one has ever left this world

without an apology in their mouth.
