It’s crazy
16 years later
The truth finally released Itself
I finally let myself be seen
To people across the globe
I finally shared how that day really transpired
Never thought this day would come
Especially to people I have never met
Oceans
& it’s oceans that divide us
& it’s a lot of water on this secret
Buried it so deep that it got flooded
& even I couldn’t swim that deep
You man used me
I don’t blame you though
I truly believe used people use people
& I’m sorry for whatever it is you was exposed to
That made your young minds so corrupt
I wonder if they recall
Like I do
Or is it a blur?
‘Cause at times
Even I don’t believe it really happened
Childhood memories be so foggy
I wonder how it shaped me
If I would be any different today
Oh well
I’ll never know
But to the version of me in other realms
That did not have to go through that
I’m glad
At least one of us never has to look at people
Differently
Ever again
