A Thank You Letter

To those who have caused me pain

You meant everything

To my tiny mind 

I believed the vinegar you 

Forced me to swallow 

Was okay 

 

I let you shove and twist words  

And knives into my heart 

Until there was nothing left 

But an empty cavity 

Filled with self hatred 

For I was just looking 

For love 

Love I never had 

 

And that’s okay too 

Because I have nothing but love 

For those who forced me to 

Release the negative helium 

Within myself that I once called self pity 

 

But that helium

Only allowed me to soar higher 

Than ever 

So thank you, for ruining me 

Because my anger 

Only brought more love
