Thank You

Not sure how to describe this piece. It's a bitter, angry poem. Written to express the betrayal that can be felt when trust is ruined. When that one person you thought could never hurt you, does.

Thank you for all that you ever said
For making me believe that I was worth it
Worth risking it all just to have a chance with me

Thank you for all that you ever said
For making me believe that I was special
Even when I was afraid of someday being a burden

Thank you for all that you ever said
For making me believe that I was amazing
When I didn't see it in myself

Thank you for everything you made me feel
Confidence in seeking independence for myself
Trust that would never be broken
Love that I never thought to have a chance at
Hope of a bright future in your arms

And thank you for taking it all away
By walking away from us and giving up on me
Proving that I wasn't any of those things
Not to you, anymore

Author's Note

Definitely one of my more angry releases. I can't say whether it's a good piece or not. I just know that some of what I write to release is sorrowful. Never bitter or angry. This was definitely...both of those and different for me.
