An Apology For Beauty

 I'm not sorry for the sunset

I'm not sorry for

the tears in my eyes

I'm not sorry for

seeing the light

I'm not sorry for

the thoughts I have

I'm not sorry that

they're off the map

I'm not sorry

I'm not sorry

for being alive

I'm not sorry

for being alive

I'm not sorry that I wonder why

that I stare off into the sky

I'm not sorry, for taking my time

I'm not sorry that I dive so deep

that I live for the mystery

I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry

for being alive

Stumbling through our deepest thoughts

Flexing over our softest parts

We say "shit like that"

and write them off

Our greatest thoughts,

why do we write them off?

Don’t you think about it

Don’t you think about it

Don’t you think about it?

 I'm not sorry for the sunset

I'm not sorry for

the tears in my eyes

I'm not sorry

I'm not sorry

for being alive
