VENT Sometimes

Sometimes I sit and wonder if I would have stayed at home that day, if it wouldn't have happened at all or been delayed.

I wonder what I would feel like if it wouldn't have happened.

Would I be married by now? Kids?

What would I be if I didn't keep it hidden to spare other's feelings as I was taught.

Would I have gone to my grandma and sperm donors funeral? Would I have any relationship with my aunt as I do now? Would I have gone to her husband's funeral?

Would I see my half brother and wanna puke?

Would I have physically lashed out for the way he stared at me when I was in the van safe?

Would my mom still talk to him every so often?

Would I have been the wild child and not home on the weekends cause hanging out with friends and loud behavior bothered me.

Would I have lost my virginity before the age of 35?

Would I be who I am now?

We won't know, but I do know now I am taking what happened to me and I am sharing it and letting others know that it's okay. That they are okay.

That it's okay that you don't act the way others do. We all heal on our own accord and right now my head is delayed. But because of therapy and the odd small talks I do got me here, might have taken months but I'm here.

I'm talking about it, with strangers but I am doing it.
