Scott Boehner

(Pronounced 'Bay-ner')

I'm an author of short stories often depicting mental health, trauma, abuse, recovery and everything in between. I enjoy writing about people of all ages, gender identities and sexualities in my works, as there is no select group who experiences mental health ups and downs. Everyone does. Children are not 'too young to experience trauma,' men are not 'too strong to be abused' and women are not 'overreacting.'

My collection of works is called 'Red Ink Underwater' and it's currently ongoing. (None of it is AI-generated, for the record.)

'Fuck Up'

I’m sorry I messed up. 

I’m sorry I can’t control my thoughts. 

I’m sorry I cried. 

I’m sorry I asked the wrong thing. 

I’m sorry I forgot to smile. 

I’m sorry I got scared. 

I’m sorry I couldn’t handle it. 

I’m sorry I made a mistake. 

I’m sorry I failed the test. 

I’m sorry I don’t have friends. 

I’m sorry I need new clothes. 

I’m sorry for acting childish. 

I’m sorry for being a child. 

I’m sorry you forgot to raise me.
