I forgot stories I never told

my cousin sarah
offered me a bra
on christmas day
said I should start to wear one
as I was growing breasts
she said she wanted
to give it to me
alone in her room
so Richard wouldn't
pick on me
about it
and when I came out
josee, her mom,
said : "oh
my poor child"
Later I asked my mom
why Richard would ever
make fun of that
and she said
he might hold
the elastic strap
in my back
and then release it
that seemed pretty mean to me
