Thank You

Thank you for ignoring my tears

It taught me that no person who makes you cry is worth it.

Thank you for haunting my dreams

I woke up today believing that bad dreams eventually go away

Thank you for twisting my arm (by mistake)

Ill never let any man physically abuse me ever

Thank you for screaming and shouting at me

It made me recognize that emotional abuse can hit you so damn hard

Thank you for the aggression, the cold silent weeks when you refused to talk

I began to realize the importance of good communication

Thank you for telling me that I smile too much

I learned that one smile can change a life

Thank you for putting me down, for telling me that I’m not good enough

It taught me to believe in myself

Thank you for making fun of all my friends

They have been there for me right through

Thank you for never standing up for me

It taught me to stand up for myself

Thank you for never caring about the hearts you’ve hurt

I’ve learned that people can be very selfish

Thank you for letting ‘fame’ get to you

I’ve learned never to make that mistake

Thank you for not wanting to be with me on weekends

I’ve learned to spend time with myself

Thank you for calling me a ‘control-freak’!

I’m working on being more easy going

Thank you for making love to me in all my innocence

It will be something ill cherish all my life

And lastly,

Thank you for walking out on me

I would have never ever let go of you otherwise
