Dear Bully


I would like to thank you

You put me through hell

You gave me no hope

You made me feel alone, isolated, and even invisible

 

Not many have the courage,

But I have come to my senses and realized I have the ability to thank my bully

 

You told me to cut,

I now have strength

 

You told me I have no friends,

I now have an army supporting me

 

You told me to kill myself,

I was reincarnated and back stronger than ever

 

Thank you for showing me parts of myself I would not have discovered

 

You showed me the power of manipulation through speech

You showed me the significance of a promise

You showed me how to stand up for myself

Your showed me the importance of life

 

You gave me my new purpose:

To protect others from people like you

 

And for that, thank you for making me better

 

Sincerely,

someone who appreciated your effort
