This is a thank you letter,
but also an apology
for how long it took me to thank you
for all the times you never asked me
how I was doing,
or if I’d eaten today.

I forgot to take my medicine
and the world is spinning much too fast.
I just need it to stop.
I had half a piece of bread
and one slice of an apple for three days.
Thank you for not asking.
Thank you for not wanting to know.

Thank you for not caring about me,
as much as I cared for myself
because I’ve healed without you,
and now I don’t need you to move on.

My stomach is full of chocolate
and the world’s still moving too fast,
but I think I’ll be okay.

I just wanted to say thank you,
for never giving a **** about me.
