Sorry, but not sorry

Sorry, I am loud, but not sorry—it’s my voice, my power, my pride,
Sorry, I take up space, but not sorry—I refuse to shrink or hide.
Sorry, I speak my mind, but not sorry—truth should never be confined,
Sorry, I laugh too much, but not sorry—joy is rare and hard to find.
Sorry, I dream big, but not sorry—I was never built for small inside.

Sorry, I put myself first, but not sorry—I can’t pour from empty hands,
Sorry, I say no, but not sorry—boundaries help me take a stand.
Sorry, I walk away, but not sorry—I don’t dance to their demands,
Sorry, I rest when I need, but not sorry—peace is not a thing to brand.
Sorry, I move on fast, but not sorry—life won’t wait for second chance.

Sorry, I eat a lot, but not sorry—I am feeding soul and bone,
Sorry, I snore too loud, but not sorry—I don’t sleep to please alone.
Sorry, I change my mind, but not sorry—growth is how the wise are grown,
Sorry, I take my time, but not sorry—rushed is how mistakes are sown.
Sorry, I love myself, but not sorry—confidence is self-made throne.

Sorry, I miss your call, but not sorry—I am living, not just seen,
Sorry, I won’t explain myself, but not sorry—I owe no in-between.
Sorry, I let things go, but not sorry—I choose peace over the mean.
Sorry, I walk my own path, but not sorry—it’s my journey, it’s my scene.
Sorry, I cannot come to the party, but not sorry—I am broke and trying to save.
