you.
you built me so tall
i felt so alive
you made me feel so worthy
i felt as if i were on top of the world
and then you left.
~
i felt knocked over
i felt empty inside
like an endless pit
i hit rock bottom.
~
thank you.
for teaching me to build myself
for teaching me how to light myself on fire
and let my flames grow
not of fury
but of fierceness
thank you for teaching me that my worth will never lie in another's hands other than my own
thank you for teaching me that i can climb my own way to the top of the world
thank you for teaching me how to transform my bones to steel
and my heart to gold
i am now a lively soul that has learned so much and felt so deeply
thank
you.
