a formal apology is the most correct and least heartfelt way of making amends.

I’ve been thinking about how easy it is to replace guilt with routine. 
To say sorry because you’re supposed to, not because you feel it.

We’ve all heard those apologies. 
They sound right, but something is missing.

This is mine.

A way to get things out of my head. 
To make something instead of carrying it around.

Some things will land. Others won’t. 
That’s fine.

If it leaves you with nothing, 
I’m sorry.

If it stays with you for a while, 
then maybe it was worth it.
