SORRY BECAUSE FOR MY MOM Sophia Espinoza th
5 Grade • Gunsaulus Scholastic Academy
No “Dear, Mom,” I know. The only reason there isn’t is because this isn’t a normal letter, (and because normal letters are boring.) You can’t truly express yourself. Now, I know I could've just said this in person, but in truth, I’m too scared, and too much of a crybaby to do so. I wanted to say I’m sorry, AGAIN. Sorry because no matter how many times I repeat it, I make the same mistake again, and again. Sorry because when you treat me rudely; to show me how it feels, I feel like a piece of dung. Sorry because I’m mean to you more than once a day, and take this in, again and again. I’m trying to change, I’ll — I’m lying. I haven’t been trying to change at all, and that’s not fair to you. Sorry because I do feel guilty, and I know that’s not enough, and I’ll start fixing things. Sorry because I might disappoint you saying this: You say I’m strong, but I’m a weak person being rude to others, to you. Sorry because I push people away for no reason; people like you, who only want to help. You are stronger than I will ever be because you mine, and a lot of other people’s awful remarks. Sorry because I could’ve been a better person. I could’ve obeyed you the first time you’ve said an order. Sorry because I brought you all this pain, I have made you cry.
