I refuse to call most of what I had to go through normal and okay
I refuse to not acknowledge that it should have not happened
Or that we could have handled it better
And before you call me ungrateful for all that you have done for me
Let me just stop you right there
and tell you that I am aware of all the sacrifices you made when you didn't have to
And I am eternally grateful
But that doesn't take away the fact that there were times when
Some of your "good intentions" caused more harm than good
And this is the truth I need to confront for both my sake and everyone I will meet in this journey
That I have ugly scars that run deep
Caused by people I love and trusted the most
And these are the places that I need to put through therapy
So that they don't accidentally bleed on others
because of my denial of their existence just to make you feel comfortable
