I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for
being the son who never lived up the expectations.
being the black sheep of the family.
being an embarrassment to everyone.

You deserve better than me.

being a smart person.
being productive.
being useful.
being someone you can be proud of.

I'm sorry.

Every time you see my siblings, you see
success.
money.
healthy lives.
hope.

Every time you see me, you see

Sorry.

Thank you for tolerating me for so long.

Sorry.
