i wish i colored inside the lines
of my stubby nails
black and pink and red


i didnt mean to make dad yell
and make him throw his remote

he taunts and teases me, asks me when my crazy lessons are?
"oh for crying out fucking loud," he said, as he tossed down his nachos, "why cant you do anything right? dont you see i wanted to fucking sit there?!"

yes i did, but i wanted to play. im sorry.
---Dad

i didnt mean to sleep through class

---jessica, stephen, and angel


im sorry i couldnt sleep last night
and crawled into your bed at 4 AM
and im sorry that i scratched myself
then started sobbing with snot hanging out the nose
---Mom

im sorry that i can win
a chess game against myself

---Gil

im sorry that i was late
to class when i had to eat my lunch
of nasty fries and cheese
in the hall of the library
---mrs. mariano

im hate it that i cant make
you get out of my head
there is still a tiny thing inside me
that screams our loves not dead
---Jeff

...well, mabye that is all a lie,
he just gave me attention,
i hate it that i saw him tonight
standing with his girl....

im sorry that i was a bitch
to mom at the movie theaters

---lil brother


im sorry i cant play my guitar as well as
most of the guys at school


im sorry that i pretended to sleep
when i was really not
to feel the blanket creep across my cheek
made me happy today
