You Made Me X

You hurt me, you abused me Yet you made me stronger. I hid from you, I wanted to die because of you Yet you made me bolder. I used to laugh with you, now I cry because of you Yet you made my skin thicker. You caused my bruises, almost killed me twice And any time I think of you, I shudder. You touched me in all the wrong ways, called yourself my father Yet you made me a fighter. I now call you a monster Yet in some sick, twisted way You're my mentor. You made me stronger, You made me bolder, You made my skin thicker, You made me a fighter, And yet, I'll never thank you for being my mentor.
