I sit as calm and as still as my legs will allow me to.

Is this really it?

Is this really all I had to do?

Was tell my school counselor everything he's been doing to me?

The words wouldn't stop flowing out of my mouth, almost like I was vomiting.

My mouth wouldn't stop moving,

The words wouldn't stop coming,

And soon enough I had told that poor counselor everything he had done to me.

She looked upset.

Upset at the words I had formed into a sentence,

Dripping out of my mouth like foul-smelling honey.

Is this really where I want to be? I ask myself.

Yes.

This is exactly where I want to be,

Spilling my guts out

To a poor counselor

Who looks like she fears the world as a whole.

This is my time, and my moment.

To speak out about the horrors I was forced to endure.
