I would like to apologise to the bee that I threw after he stung my side.

I would like to apologise to the child I scared when I screamed as I saw a spider, traumatising him in the process.

I would like to apologise to my brand new rug, barely a month old, covered in make up.

I would like to apologise to my daily routine because soon, there will be a shake up.

I would like to apologise to the people in the gym who watched in horror as my leggings ripped.

I would like to apologise to the patient that I accidentally said “I love you” to.

I would like to apologise to my knees for the squats and the deadlifts and the drops,

As I fell to the ground in exhaustion as I found,

The day for me was done, and I had come undone.

Those damn leggings!
