I sat down today and wept.
When I suddenly realized all the things I had swept.
Under the carpet for all of those years.
I just couldn't control my tears.
Flowing they came just like a stream.
Akin to a flood of the most extreme.
Pouring and pouring just like the rain.
When I thought of all the pain.
The things I went through for all of those years.
All of the bruises, all of the tears.

I am better now though, thanks to you.
You made me strong, now who would of knew?
I never once thought, that you could have taught.
Me a life lesson, so simple and raw.
Never again will I be that same girl.
Who felt I deserved all the abuse you would hurl.

So I thank you, I'm grateful,  from the depths of my soul.
For your anger is what ultimately made me whole.
