I have to thank you I see who I have been I understand what I was I look to where I am going I have to thank you I feel the pallor of the existence I led I touch the shell I once inhabited I have to thank you I hold no hate I do breathe anger I concede to the pain I pray it is mine alone I have to thank you Without this decimated phase I wouldn’t have pushed through Without the values earned in losing us I would never believed in myself like I do now I have to thank you You understood what it took for me to flourish You hated me for it You craved me for it I have to thank you The chess matches I create are false I always wanted to accept you I always wanted to be your exception (if only because you were mine) I have to thank you I may never tell you I may never even lead you on to this I probably won’t ever give you the respect you are due I have to thank you I have to thank you for For all the things we destroyed even ourselves We are the difference between knowing and being We are the people who will forever be…. I have to thank you I have new existence I have new purpose Though I may wane and my ideas shift Like the sands I asked you to see beauty in Even if some days I grow despondent Like the answers you gave me on those days I have to thank you Good luck………..

I have to thank you
