Unnatural

Unnatural

My sister visited me at home two weeks ago.
She told me I was harming her and her son.
And that if anything bad happened to our mother, it’d be my fault.
She told me my whole life was wrong and unnatural.
She said I was mentally ill and that I should see a doctor.
She contacted a doctor and said we should go together.
She said she might not get the job she applied for because of me.
And that I was a ticking bomb.
I could explode any minute and ruin our family’s life.
She said she might leave, move abroad, and tell her son that he doesn’t have an aunt.
She said all of that and more because I’m gay.
