Thank you.
Thank you for the gift you’ve given me.
Without you I would have never let things be,
I was lost and alone,
and you came along.
Although at the beginning everything seemed hopelessly wrong.
But you were really a blessing in disguise.
You kicked me,
pushed me around,
and left me bleeding inside.
There is a reason for everything even though we might not see it.
You just gotta have faith,
even if it’s only a little bit.
There were many times where I just wanted to give it.
But I couldn’t,
because I knew there were still places I hadn’t been.
I fought back;
I kicked and I screamed.
There were times when I couldn’t even tell reality from the things I dreamed.
Day by day,
inch by inch,
I built myself back up one day at a time.
I knew that some day victory would finally be mine.
I came out at the top proud and strong.
And finally once in my life, nothing was wrong.
I was myself again, inside and out.
The girl who I had lost, and before known so little about.
So no, I do not cringe at the sight of the gift you’ve given me.
I wake up every morning knowing it’s exactly how it’s supposed to be.
In reality,
I know that the mountains I have crossed
lay under my feet ready to help me out in a moments need.
So thank you for the gift you’ve given me.
The gift of strength, wisdom, and honesty.
I love who I am and I wouldn’t want to change a thing.
Now just sit back and watch me shine through everything.
