Do Not Apologize

Do not apologize for being sad;
It's okay, I understand.
Sadness is normal,
It's human.

Do not apologize for being human.
I'm a human, too,
And I have a heart,
Which is happy.

Do not apologize for being happy
Even if others are not.
Being happy is good,
Though the world is scary.

Do not apologize for being afraid.
Fear keeps us alive.
We need it as a shield,
So we survive getting broken.

Do not apologize for being broken;
It's okay, I understand.
It's normal and how we grow.
It's human.

Do not apologize for being human.
I'm a human, too,
And I have a heart.
So do not apologize to me.
It's okay. I understand.
You're human.

And so am I.
