To You

#3 : To you who made me

You yelled at me and punished me. Even threatened me sometimes. You looked at me as if I am a mistake that must be corrected.

I disgusted the straight face and sad eyes with which you looked at me. I suffocated as soon as you enter and relieved as soon as you leave.

You tried to mold me into something but I didn't like being controlled. Rather than giving up, you tried again and again which made me hate you more.

I thought you were two-faced. Your nice words about me in front of others but scolded me when alone.

Why you couldn't mind your business and always jump into my matters?

Why couldn't you just ignore me?

Ignore my existence... like others since I was only a troublemaker.

My hatred for you increased when such an emotion mustn't exist between us.

Now when I look back I regret everything I thought. I regret the way I acted, the way I spoke.

You were always there to correct my mistakes trying to mold me into a better human being.

You were always there for me, to shield me when others pointed fingers at me, to shield me when others questioned me.

Looking back you were the one who knew I existed, who knew I was in pain.

In my dark world, your light showed me the way...the way which leads to where I am now.

To you, I am sorry and thankful....
