Thoughts Turning to Ink on Paper

Almost One Year

I can't believe it's been a year, 

A year where everything originally happened

Where my trust was betrayed

Where my mental health took a turn for the worse, 

Terrified of being pulled from college, 

All for wanting to keep my relationship

I had to hide it and not tell my family

Because they would have reacted horribly

I know they would have reacted the same, 

The same way when I told them back in May, 

They would have most likely reacted worse

If I told them in person,

It's still effecting me, 

And I can't know how long the past 

Will be on my mind, 

I'm feeling the same way I did then

But on a much milder scale

authors note: 

if any of you are interested in more poems about this topic go to my previous book 'poems from my mind'. There you'll find the one labeled 'why?' and that's where i started writing about what was going on at that time for me.

please take care of yourselves my lovely readers. and I'm always here if you need to talk 💜
