Fool-a poem

Mom and Dad, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for disobeying your advice.
Because I’ve landed myself in a nowhere job.
In short, I’ve been a fool.

Brother and sister, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for being a bad role model
And for not being a good brother
Don’t follow me, for I’m a fool.

Teachers and mentors, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for letting you down
And for not being the student you wished for.
As I sit here with little education, I know I’m a fool.

Mr. and Mrs. S, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for drinking and driving
And taking your son, my friend, away from you.
I know I’m responsible, and that I was a fool.

Ms. J, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for being uncommitted
And placing the burden of parenthood on you so soon.
My desires didn’t match my commitment,
I am a fool.

God, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry for talking the walk, but not walking it.
And hurting all those that I’ve hurt.
Forgive me, for I’m a fool.
