I wonder what I’ll blame it on this time. Thorns in the woods? No… they’re too high up for that. Maybe I just tripped and fell? Nah. That’s just stupid What about the cat? … That might work They’ll have to heal and fade before I let my parents see them… I guess they’ll find out the truth sooner or later. I don’t want to drag them into this I don’t want them to treat me differently… I definitely don’t want to tell the therapist. But the way things are going… May end badly... If i’m not careful. Something needs to change, But I don’t want it to. I don’t want to see the disappointment and fear In their faces In their voices I don’t want them to treat me like i’m going to break at the slightest touch I don’t want them to worry about me They have enough to worry about. I just have to be careful, And maybe everything will turn out ok. I hope it will.
