Unapologetic

How do you apologize for the way you feel?
How do you apologize for being a woman and filled with hormones?
How do you apologize for hypersensitivity and behaving in a manner you wouldn’t expect?
But those are real feelings aren’t they? Just the buried ones, right?
Well then, how do you apologize for feeling hurt?
For fighting back tears and pushing people away to protect yourself?
How do you apologize when you reach a dark corner and get tested even further by criticism?
How?
How do you apologize to someone who didn’t even care to understand what went wrong?
How do you tell someone, “I’m sorry for feeling like I couldn’t trust you, I’m sorry I pushed you away, I’m sorry I have emotions I can’t keep checked to spare your feelings”?

Hmm…I guess you don’t.
