Dear Life


Dear life thank you. Thank you for keeping me awake at night thinking about all the things i've done wrong. 

Thank you for making me feel the pain of losing those I love through no ones fault except my own. 

It's all these hard lessons that will stick with me through the rest of my life. 

Life, sometimes you suck . 

You suck on the days when you bring your froends Depression and Anxiety to come over and play. 

You suck on the days when you invite Insominia to come and spend the night.

You suck on the days when you bring Regreat over to stay for few days.

Those are the days I struggle to make it through the day. 

Those are days that always seem to stick with me the most. 

Yet nonetheless I still thank you. 

Life, I thank you because you have made me realize that sometimes I don't need anyone else to make through the days.

Life, Your tough love has shown me that some sitiations are not worth my time or effort. 

Your harsh ways of showing me you care have a funny way of making me feel like I can overcome any and everything. 

Although i'm faurly new to this thing called life I feel like I have lived more lives than most people.

Life, you forced me to grow up from the age of six. when I had to take care of my siblings because mommy and daddy were always gone. 

Then when I was seven I was put into foster care. 

Life, You forced to build a wall seperating me from other from I was eight. 

Life, You forced to say goodbye to my childhood right when it had just begun. 

Nonetheless I still thank you. 

Because even though you suck sometimes Life, If it wasn't for your harsh love I wouldn't be the strong, independent person I am today. 

So Life, Thank you.
