Very well written on saying sorry all the time. There is a lady I know who does this all the time. It is like she is apologizing for being alive. When she says sorry to the wall. That is a clear indication that she is saying this a lot. Sometimes, this can be a product of shame in a person's life or growing up in a shame based family, which describes my family.

How often do we see the need to apologize for ourselves when we sometimes lack the confidence to know have been right! I liked this because of the truth in the message it conveys to your reader! Nicely done!

What a delightful poem. There is so much truth behind these words -- some people are constantly apologizing for their flaws or every thing they say. I enjoyed the meter very much -- good manipulation of words. Hugs, Lou

Oh, I've met people like this. Apologies for apologising. Your intensely apologetic poem immerses us in her fault, and that intensity is very funny. The verse works very well and should do really well. Best of luck.

That was one flaw of mine for many years as I never seemed to get anything right with my "x," then one day I just halted in my steps and said to him," If he thought he could do any better he was quite welcomed to do so himself if he would learn to start saving to we could get ahead and stop criticizing the housework and cooking I did for him. He never did that was when I started standing up for myself and bring back the self-worth I had lost for so many years.
Try it you might surprise yourself.

Nice poem. It rhymes well. I have known people like that who are always sorry about something. It drives me crazy to have to communicate with them.

I think that is why I decided to write about it...at some point, you have to just stop thinking the world's problems are yours. Thanks, Judy.
Comment from emrpoems
In my opinion I call that low self esteem. You think that you are always wrong and so you must apologize
She sums it all up in these last lines
All the best in the contest
Good use of abcb rhymes
Good use of enjambment

Thank you so much...and it DEFINATELY is centered in low self-esteem.
Comment from kiwijenny
I wish she would not say she's sorry.
Friends laugh every time that she does.
She's always so sure that she did the wrong thing,
She missed just how right that she was
This is me too. I think I said sorry to inanimate objects
God bless...great poem

Thanks truly, Buddy. It is a daunting problem, not easily gotten over. I continue fighting it..and saying I'm sorry because I say I'm sorry....
Comment from Acquired Taste
I like this very much. I'm not sure people realize how often they say "I'm sorry" for something that is definitely not their fault - I am guilty of the same issue. I like the rhyming and it flows very smoothly. Engaging topic and nicely done. AT=/
