You’ll Want to Sit Down for This

There’s no easy way to say this; 
there’s no way of keeping it in. 
It builds inside of me, 
telling me to set it free. 
It’s begging for attention; 
it’s scrapping up my knees. 
It’s knocking louder and louder; 
it’s banging down the front door. 
What is it, you ask? 
Well, where do I begin? 
Do you have a chair to pull up? 
Grab a glass of water 
and a box of tissues, too. 
I have a while; I hope you do. 
You see, things like this take some time. 
There may be some hesitation, 
some mulling over facts versus emotions. 
There may be some details, or generalities 
until I become comfortable. 
So please, bear with me a while. 
After all, it concerns you too. 
And if you must know, yes, I think you do, 
it’s been there for a while 
and it’s time to set it free.
