I utter it because my heart hurts.
It is crushing.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis piece definitely caught my attention. I like how you repeat the line "I hate the word sorry" and then use that as the finishing line of the poem; it makes the poem more powerful.
The only thing I would improve upon is elaborating on why you hate the word sorry. You give us examples, but I feel like you are more so having a conversation with someone than writing a poem. Adding more metaphors, imagery, and symbolism can really help expand upon the theme of the poem and make the overall piece have a greater impact on the reader.
Other than that you have a good poem going for you. I hope this helps with your future works <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="
