Thank You

Thank you for helping shape me into the person that I am today;

Thank you for causing me to hold a ton of hate;

But most importantly, thank you for allowing me to turn all of this anger into something great.

You were there when I needed you to not be there the most;

You were around when I begged you to go away and turn into a complete ghost;

You appeared and just never went away, oh how you were such a great host.

You were there to constantly doubt the things that I did;

You still saw me even when I thought I hid;

It was as though I was some sort of bid.

Your constant reminders that I will fail made me think that the things that you said were true;

You hated me so much that I began to hate myself too;

Everything was so continuous that I began to think that I was incapable of doing anything new.

As I finish pouring my heart out to you;

I would like to say this again: thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to think the worst about myself;

Thank you for giving me the chance to not care about my health;

Thank you for allowing me to think that I didn’t have a chance at a single strand of wealth;

But most importantly, thank you for being there so I could have someone to blame for my future wealth.
