Not Alone

Oh my.

I feel very…different.

Relieved?

Realizing I am not alone.

My experience is one others share;

It can be explained.

People get me.

I am not…a bad person.

I am not…wrong.

It is not…my fault.

And help will work.

I spent so long

—too long—

Thinking.

Thinking that what I was going through,

Was somehow untreatable.

I believed for so long

—to long—

That I had to explain,

And still no one would get it.

And now I know,

That they do get it.

That I am not alone.
