Thank You
You hurt me in ways most people will never know.
My scares are on the inside haunting me wherever I go.
You made me believe I was worthless and undeserving of love.
I always ran away frightened when push came to shove.
I sometimes dreamt I was a bird so I could just fly away.
In my dreams you would clip my wings so I had no choice but to stay.
Control was your weapon and fear was your favorite game.
Everytime you would hurt me I thought I was to blame.
As I slowly got older I could finally see.
You had a fear of your own and that fear was me getting free.
I took the pain you inflicted and used it to stay alive.
What I'm saying is you are the reason I have all of this drive.
You gave me an example of what I never would be.
I used my to help others finally get away free.
So I guess I'm saying thank you for who I am today.
To others you do have a choice and they can't make you stay.
