I’ve been told recently that I’m psychotic because I don’t want people who aren’t good for me around anymore

I’ve been called selfish because I’ve put myself first in only the most detrimental of situations

I’ve learnt that even people who have fooled me into thinking are really good people for years, are actually not

I’ve been told I’m going to lose everyone because I have not been afraid to tell people when they’ve upset me

I’ve been called the runt of the family for speaking loudly and proudly about how our opinions differ

I’ve learnt that I am a hell of a lot stronger
Than I ever wanted to learn
I’ve learnt that only from beneath the ground do flowers grow
Thank you for burying me  
And giving me this opportunity to blossom
