Bully’s Apology

SorryÂ
And I want to apologizeÂ
For making this girls life hell
But...Â
Sorry
Doesn’t encompasses it anymore
Because even though I forgot her name
She’ll never forget my face
Or what it felt like to be excluded
And I have no excuses
Because their is never an excuse for that behavior
Because when I should have been my best
Was at my bestÂ
With the best friends I’d ever had
I wasn’t.Â
Because that summer was the happiest I’ve ever been
And I didn’t know how to deal with happy
Because I hadn’t been in such a long time
And it took me years to realize that I had been more of a bully
Then I had ever been a victim of bullying
SorryÂ
I apologizeÂ
And I hope wherever you are
That my face doesn’t registerÂ
Doesn’t even occupy a fraction of your brain
Sorry
But I know that that isn’t possible
I hope you see this
I hope you’re smiling.Â
I hope you know that I’m.Â
Sorry.Â
But that doesn’t encompass it anymore
I made your life hell because I didn’t know how to deal with happy
Because some part of my brain needed...Â
anger
shame
power
rebellion
Sorry.Â

Hello Lionheartedcoward...
It's great to see an apology but, the reason I don't think you were a bully is because names cannot be forgotten...
Faces and the sound of the voice is recognized anywhere...
 An apology doesn't change the damage...
It doesn't make someone get the years back because, a bully usually doesn't stand alone and it can go on all through School Years which only shows how strong the other person really is by how long they take it before they've had enough...
They are nothing when you get them alone...
It's a great message!
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Wow... This hit hard for me, to be honest, passively, actively and secretly I have been the wrong side of the fence with bullies. People find me as different, weird but achieving... Some are jealous, and said it to my face. Sorry for going into details here, what I wanted to say is this brought a lot for me, so thank you for sharing beautiful poetry.
