returning to therapy after a bit of a break

when the only person

you’ve ever loved

almost takes your life…

it’s quite a lot to reckon with

when the weight of finding love again

makes you more nervous

than the grief of living without it…

it’s quite a lot to reckon with

when the police department

you reported to

was simultaneously being sued

by the accused

in a sexual assault case

involving your former high school English teacher

and a student

only a few years after he was your teacher…

it’s quite a lot to reckon with

when just four years later

the accused is charged again

and again… and again…

it’s quite a lot to reckon with
