No Apologies
Sorry is a word that we
Should try our best to lose
It’s a concept warriors
Should rarely ever use
We say it with no thought of how
The word’s truly defined
So let me take a moment to
Look it up and remind:
Regrettable, deplorable
Sorrowful, grieved or sad
Wretched, poor and pitiful
Without use to be had
Warriors are never sorry
For a single thing
They understand the consequences
Of the words they fling
They put thought into what they say
And also what they do
And when some feelings get hurt they
Still hold fast and stay true
To what they do believe in
Even if feathers are ruffled
They don’t make up excuses and
Let their voices be muffled
The goal is to be confident
In all you do and say
All “I’m sorry” serves to do
Is shows that you will stray
“I’m sorry” is a “too late” phrase
It doesn’t change the past
Resolve to make the next time that
You say it be your last
Resolve to not do anything
That you will soon regret
Do nothing deplorable
That will leave you in debt
Save yourself from the sorrow
From being sad and grieved
If you said or did something
It’s because you believed
Be not wretched, pitiful
You’re much better than that
Differing opinions don’t
Have to end in combat
Agree to disagree and let
Each side have their own views
Never let another’s ego
Make you sing the blues
By saying that you’re sorry and
Indulging “sensitives”
Tip-toeing on eggshells is
Not how a warrior lives
Replace “sorry” with “deal with it”
Or a similar phrase
Like “get over yourself” and watch
All of the eyebrows raise
Because it’s in that moment where
The ego shows its face
Showing no regret is how
We put it in its place
