“Apologize” Poem of the Day (2023)

“Apologize”

By Ashley O’Hare

Apologize,

not with expectations,

but with a full heart.

Words mean nothing

when they are devoid of emotion.

Ignore your mind’s commotion

and put the speech in motion.

Do not manipulate.

Do not lie.

It will all catch up with you–

all in due time.

Keep your intentions pure

and you will have no cause

for concern

of karma’s backhand swing.
