Confessions

I have been so addled
That it is starting to exasperate me
I am enervated
From the lack of knowing
I prance around the words when it comes time to speak
Will they accept me?
The only “girl” in the family
But yet, I am not
They say family is forever
But is that really always the case?
These words burn a fire in my throat
