i went to the gym today
with anne and jen
they did cardio
but i wanted to do abs
so i told them to move closer
because i was scared
i can’t be around men anymore
i wanted to cry
actually, i did cry
so jen moved closer
but an old man kept staring
so i didnt go
i stood beside her on the treadmill
and waited
and waited
and waited till they left
but they never did
so jen took me over to the side
to talk
but i just cried
and cried
while she spoke
but i couldn’t hear her
over myself
so she pulled me to the ab station
and anne came over
then we tried doing it together
i was happier
i felt safer
and thats what family is all about
being there
even when you’re upset
loving someone
through thick and thin
unconditional care
unconditional love
unconditional
