Stronger
I’ve wiped every tear off my face
Now you can no longer drown me
I’ve tuned you out of my head
Your words can never hurt me again.
I now wear a bulletproof vest
You can no longer shoot me down
I glued myself to the ground
So that you can never sweep me off my feet
I have taped my mouth shut
Your kiss can no longer infect me with sympathy
I’ve changed my phone number
You can never find me
I’ve paused my heart
It will no longer beat for you
I took out my brain
So you could never cross my mind
I cut my hands off
I will now no longer feel anything for you
I’ve clogged my nose
I will never be able to inhale your scent
I sewed my eyes shut
You can no longer see me cry
I’ve lifted the weights off my chest
You can never bring me down
I now have fresh air
You can no longer suffocate me.
But I want to thank you
Even though you tore me apart
I put myself back together
And I have come to realize that…
You made me the person I am today,
And stronger than I’ve ever been.
I’ve broken free
Now the last thing you’ll ever hear from me is:
Thank you…
