consensual adults

Bravo
to those
privileged enough
to get it perfectly the first go ’round

families
affirming

of my great regrets –
she didn’t have
the choice

not a regret of hers?

release that
however it works

Years
of therapy
working
on
that

propaganda fucks with my head

deconstructing

bizarrely
pastored the same churches

parents still there
wish I were strong enough
not to care

but I’m not.
