Thank You Poem by Blair Flynn

You know at first it hurt, I’m not going to lie.
But after awhile as the pain turns to hate
The wound to my heart that you caused subsides and turns into pure anger.
And even after a long while the anger will fade and now maybe you are the one that deserves an apology rather than me so here it goes….

I’m sorry.
I shouldn’t yell at you and tell you what a horrible mess of emotions that you are.
You already know your mistakes, my words mean nothing to you.
You have simply given me more hope that the next time around I can do better than I ever did with you.
The one time you made me weak now has made me tougher.
Your insults simply give me more confidence.
Your letting go let me move on with my life.

So now thank you
Cause if another worthless bad of trash comes my way,
I’ll know how to take care of myself
And for the next person that realizes what I’m worth
I can breath easier, love stronger and care even more and appreciate them.
