I Am Sorry
Association of Authors (ANA’s) Poet of the Week
By Modupe Adekunle
I AM SORRY
What sort of staff are you?
I could never employ a staff member like you.
I am sorry.
You make me cry so much.
Just because I love you so much.
I am sorry.
This is a very unreasonable action.
The whole class is blaming you for this action.
I am sorry.
You have stylishly taken his fiancee.
Who will now console him for the loss of his fiancee?
I am sorry.
‘I am sorry’ may be difficult when you try to say it.
But it is a sentence that is full of power and respect
when you finally say it.
A peace builder, tension reducer, relationship
repairer, strength revealer –
I am sorry.
