It Was Never About Me
By C. Meagan Michael
It was never about me.
I was said to have been named after my deceased Paternal Grandmother. In the religion I was born into, they name after the dead not the living.
It was never about me.
My 2nd cousin on my father's side already had our Paternal Grandmother's full name. I was given her first initial.
It was never about me
My mother's much hated sister had a son 5 years my senior. His name was "Kary" My birth name was "Karyn"
It was never about me.
I was erased before I was born.
*The names have been changed to maintain family anonymity
