It has been 6 years
Years
Since I have looked back at my past
Reading and knowing the hell I went through
Hurts
I never realized how bad it was
How much of an influence she put on me
I always have
And
Always will hate her for what she had done
She controlled me
Manipulated me
Ruined my confidence
Always brought me down with verbal abuse
And
Broke me
I will always have a vile taste in my mouth when I think about her
But
The one thing she doesn’t know is…
You may have broken me
Made me suffer
Tore me down
Shattered my life
And made me pick up the pieces
To put my life back together
But
April…
You made me who I am today
A strong
Independent
Hard working
Determined
Successful woman
April may have ruined my life
But
I’m stronger
Better
And more successful than you will ever be
So thank you for…
Making realize what I deserve
Making me stand up for myself
Making me stronger than ever
And now…
I won’t stand for people that treat me like you did
I just hope one day you find out that
You may have shattered me to the point of no return
But in doing so
I found out who I really am.
