To Those I've Hurt in the Past
By Sarah Hafermann
Written October 2010
I know I am not perfect, though I've tried so hard to be,
I've hurt so many without trying, when just being me.
I've said things that I shouldn't when I was hurt and afraid,
cutting those closest to me, with the sharpest end of the blade.
A bad habit of action before thought
has caused me to be one who has forgot
to put others thoughts and emotions first
causing hurt feelings that cannot be reversed.
To those I've hurt, you know who you are,
no matter how long it takes, close or far,
I will do whatever it takes to make my actions ring true
to be once again considered a friend by you.
