The Truth doesnt always Set you free.....

Ive been a victim, once again  
when in the fuck will this ever end?    
   
Ive been groped by a family members husband....  
shes my bestie, my blood, my "sister"  
   
What do you say? How does it come up?  
I chose to hide it, shove it aside  
   
Handle it, privately...be tough...  
Told him Id kill him if he ever touched me again  
   
Then that was it, yet I hear things of others  
so why didnt I speak up?  
   
A family member is dying  
fuck cancer....  
   
Sister called me tonight, asking if her husband has touched me    
inappropriately  
   
She begged please dont lie  
I started to stutter and cry  
   
I told her all of it, every time  
as we both sobbed  
   
I wanted to fib, yet could not, it was time  
now I feel awful  
   
Responsible  
At fault  
The reason  
   
Years of PTSD/addiction controlled  
now on the line  
   
A cool line sounds really fucking great right now  
but im here typing....debating....contemplating....  
   
Ill settle for a Whiskey, 4 deep, neat  
then try to go to bed  
and deal with this fucking shit tomorrow, all over again.....

Author's Note
Note to you all: Never keep it a secret. Never. Always tell someone. I was afraid she wouldnt believe me. I told her real sister, he did to her too, and others... All our husbands knew as well, yet here we are....No matter whom it hurts, speak up!  I chose no comments, yet...I feel this is topic that needs to be discussed...so many suffer in silence... please tell someone before things get to this... Im afraid of this, yet it is what it is, and out of my hands now that Ive told the truth, along with many others....always speak up.
