It's A Relief Poem by Trinny Trin

It's a relief I suppose
now everyone knows.
Though I can't help but think
I was wrong.
I feel like dirt
for making them hurt
When I held it inside for so long.

After all these years
I shed my first tears.
Can't say what I am crying for.
Thought I was fine
that the secret was mine
cause he can't hurt me anymore.

I know I wasn't to blame.
I was eight - an innocent child
but still I can't help feeling shame
this confusion is driving me wild.

I know what you did you regret
I know you were hurt by it too.
And, though I can't learn to forget
I know that I can forgive you.
