At least now, I’m sorry.
I was only a kid.
I have only ever been a kid.
I was doing my best.
I was only a kid.
And you made sure I knew that.
I was doing my best
but you wanted me to be good.
And you made sure I knew that
you didn’t think I was stupid
but you wanted me to be good
enough to see that inside myself.
You didn’t think I was stupid.
At least now, I’m sorry
enough to see that inside myself:
I have only ever been a kid.
