I’m sorry for not being beautiful Tangled black hair and plain brown eyes Are far from the prettiest sight

I’m sorry for not working harder Fainting and black circles around my eyes Aren’t an excuse to not try

I’m sorry for not being better Bright red scars line my arms Feelings of inadequacy led to self harm

I’m sorry for not understanding That you couldn’t ever be proud of me I wouldn’t either, if I had a child so ugly

I’m sorry for feeling inadequate Failing and failing time after time You think that crying is a crime

I’m sorry for not being the best I know you wouldn’t hesitate to give me away for a quarter If in return you got the perfect daughter
