My True Apology
I’ll respect your anger
and all of your confusion
but don’t hide behind a wall of hate
or draw unfair conclusions
I tried through my accomplishments
to keep our family one
but by the time I recognized the flaws
the damage had been done
All I ever wanted
was for you to love your lives
but it seems too late to fix it all
so we must compromise
and I can still love you
though you hold a grudge for me
if you’ll consider this to be
my true apology
