im sorry (Aine Quealey)

I am sorry that for so long I've allowed myself to think I'm over you and that I never pushed myself to meet you while you were here so I could tell you that maybe (just a little bit) Im not!! Im sorry that I was mad at you for nothing you did but for circumstances that forced us apart!! But mostly Im sorry that can't be your friend and teach you things about life you really should know! I am also sorry that I confuse myself so much that I think that I really do want you when really I know I don't!! that is all....hope someday we can be friends!

Dear Myself (Melissa Tait)

Dear Myself,

I am sorry for letting you stay friends with someone who you always knew at the back of your mind didn't care about you enough or have your best interests at heart. I'm sorry for ignoring the inner feeling that this person was trouble and shouldn't be trusted. I'm sorry it's taken so long to realise I have the strength to change this situation and make my life better without her in it. I'm sorry for staying quiet when she did bad things and for making excuses to other people about her. I'm sorry for putting up with this for so long, and making you suffer time and time again. It's true what they say that someone can only hurt you with your own consent. This is no longer the case. Now she is gone from our lives and won't be able to hurt us any more. Thank you for the self belief and confidence to change things for the better. Now we can start living. Now we can't be hurt again. She's gone from our lives. And what an amazing feeling it is!

A Late Apology

I want to tell you I'm sorry for turning up and ruining everything.
I'm sorry for falling in love with you,
And for telling you I had fallen in love with you,
And for acting like it and thinking about it endlessly and trying so hard to figure it all out.
I'm sorry for trying to push you away
Because I knew it would draw you closer.
I'm sorry I let you go back to her and acted like it didn't bother me when really, it broke my heart.
I'm sorry I let you lie to me and walk away from me,
And i'm really sorry that I let it hurt me the way it did.
I'm sorry that I tried so hard to hate you and so hard to find somebody else, anybody else.
I'm sorry that I didn't and that i'm becomming synical so young
And so vulnerable when I'm too old for such vulnerability.
I'm really sorry I can't just say this to you.
I'm sorry that everytime I see you, you dissapoint me.
I'm sorry that I'm leaving so soon,
And that I will probably never see you again.
I'm sorry that that makes me cry.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect and I led you astray and I can't speak your language and I'm not the person you want to be in love with,
I'm just really sorry.
I still love you,
Sorry.

Copy and Paste Apology (Rachael Jones)

Dear Dad

It has come to my attention that my action of smoking, could be seen as [X] offensive [ X] annoying [X] selfish [ ] hurtful. I never intended to do something you dissaprove of and that might make you feel you've failed or I'm stupid.

I want you to understand that I was merely trying to cope, though I can see now that it may appear that I was being weak and latching onto something that is only expensive and a bit disgusting and harmful.

Please accept my first apology. Moving forward, I will attempt to quit, one day. That said, I would very much appreciate it if you didn't get mad or find out or say anything to me if you do suspect it. I feel guilty already. And yes, Mum knows.

Sincerely, your youngest

Excuses:
[X] It's a habit
[ ] I am a naturally selfish person
[ ] I thought it would be funny
[ ] I didn't know it bothered you
[X] You were never supposed to know
[ ] I was [ ] lonely [ ] drunk [ ] hungry
[ ] It was my evil twin

I feel:
[X] Terrible
[X] Guilty
[X] Stupid
[X] Sorry
[ ] Blameless
[ ] Vindicated
[X] Better Now

From Kirsten

I'm sorry for always apologising but never changing,
I'm sorry for wanting you to be someone else,
I'm sorry for wanting another life,
I'm sorry that I do not fit and I'm sorry that you're just not right.

I'm sorry that this is the only time I'll admit this.

From Ellie F

I'm sorry for walking by, too caught up in my own tiny problems to pay you any notice or time of day or take a minute of time to realise how easy i have got it...I'm really sorry because you deserve so much more.

To a close friend

I'm sorry you feel down. I'm sorry that I never have any idea what to say. I wish you had even the smallest inkling of how much I love you. I know you'll get through it but you really, really don't deserve to feel the way you do.

Apologies (Simon Bowes)

I am sorry for simply -and completely- forgetting.

Awful Words From a Hurt Child (Mark Esaias)

I'm really sorry Jake for calling you those horrible names.
I know it only happened once, but at the time I felt the hurtful things I said might stay with you forever.
I could comfort myself with the fact that I was only 13 years old and that I ironically I wanted you to like me, but there is no excuse for what I said.
I would like you to know that it is very unlike me to come out with such spiteful and blatantly dishonest words.
Anyway, 12 years on I'm sure it is just a speck of a memory for you and it might seem possibly a little crazy to be still thinking about it. However, it still stands as one of the worst things I have ever done.

Best wishes,

one sorry inner child

Sorry, sorry.

I'm sorry that I haven't given you anything in 30 days. I promise to be better; try harder; think faster; talk slower.

Trite

I'm sorry you've gone
I'm sorry for often feeling glad
I'm sorry you'll never see her grow up
I'm sorry you'll never meet him
I'm sorry this is making me cry
I'm sorry for betraying you
I'm sorry you'd hate who I am
I'm sorry for being too chicken-shit to say any of this out loud
I'm sorry if any of the family find this

Sorry I'm a Bad Girlfriend (NO228305)

I'm sorry that I don't trust you, when you seem like you're the man for me. But I'm pretty convinced if I go on the way I do, I will push you into committing some corrupt deed and then I will have been right all along, won't I?! - I'm always right.

Bad girlfriend

I'm sorry but it's all been done (Karen)

I am sorry that I find this sorry project so derivative of:

a) Peter Handk'e play Self-Accusation
b) Forced Entertainment's show Speak Bitterness
c) Guillermo Gómez-Peña's installation piece Temple of Confessions
d) several blogs on the internet inviting confessions and apologies (sorry I can't remember them all).

Is there no end to these publicly performed guilt-trips? Is this just a modern version of the Catholic confessional?

I am sorry if I've wasted your time with this hyper-critical, meta-theatrical and utterly unconstructive non-apology.

Love,

Karen

A Rant Disguised as an Apology

Dear you-know-who-you-are,

I'm sorry that you thought your email was funny, it wasn't. I'm sorry that now, without ever meeting you before, I think you're a dick. I'm sorry that you've got so much pent-up the-world-is-against-me anguish that you pick these stupid little micro-political fights instead of channeling your energy into something useful, like not being a douche.

Get over yourself,
Sorry

Sorry (James)

I'm sorry for being late.

I didn't mean any disrespect, I'm really not disorganised, and this by no means reflects my work ethic nor does it speak of how much I value you or our relationship.

It was an agreed point in time that has now passed, a point in time where we tried to make something happen. We tried for that point. You made that point. I fell short...and for that I am sorry.

I failed.

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett

I will fail again.

Present Attempt

(Lady Kitt)

I’m sorry I forgave you.

Sorry (Christopher Davis)

I'm sorry for thinking I'm better even when I'm not.

I'm sorry for apologies which never illicit change.

I'm sorry for being over dramatic and serious with art projects.

I'm sorry for selling out.

But apologies are useless without someone to apologise to. Anonymity
is great if you don't want to bite the bullet.

I'm sorry for getting distracted.

But think of what I've done while you were looking the other way.

Sorry.
