Question:For all of the rights I know I have wronged
And all of the wrongs I can't right
For all of the pain I know I have caused
And all of the hell I cant fight

For all of the tears I know I have cried
And all of the hate that I've spit
For all of the love I know I've deprived
And all of the flaws I cant quit

For all of the lies I know I have spoke
And all of the truth I can't see
For all of the bad I know I provoke
And all of the good I can't be

For all of the angels I've shot from the sky
And all of the demons I've raised
For all of the righteous I've chose to deny
And all of the evil I've praised

For all of the wishes that never came true
And all of the warnings that did
For all of the lessons I shouldn't have learned
And all of the shame that I hid

I truly am sorry for all that I've done
But this I have learned long at last
You're life is a journey that carries you on
No future in dwelling the past

Impressive, really, as I read this I'm blown away. Your use of Antithesis (balancing) is really effective, ( instead of just, I've been wrong, I've been right). You really make us understand your emotion and bring us to where you are but then you bring us right back out of the dark with that last stanza. The order of you stanzas is very effective in stating your point and then becoming more poetic and rich until the poem finally comes to a close.
Good work, creative topic.

Oh God I loved it and can relate

I loved it . i too believe there is no need to dwell in the past. I love how you appologized for the the things you could controll and couldnt. allows the person who is seeking the apology to understand you are really sincere. thanks for sharing

It's really sincere, and after I read it, I was speechless. If I were any of the people or things mentioned in this poem, I would say "Apology accepted!"

this is a masterpiece

all of the above and you should try and get it published in a book or something look in newspaper and on the Internet for poetry competitions
