Thank you for the beatings.
Thank you for the hate filled stares.
Thank you for the harsh words
that showed me you didn't care.
Thank you for the hard times.
Thank you for the tears.
Thank you for the pain you caused
that I've carried all these years.
Thank you for disposing of me
like I was last week's trash.
Thank you for showing me what
it's like to have absolutely no class.
Thank you for not loving me..
but leaving that for my grandparents to do.
But most of all, I would like to
Thank God.. for me being who I am today..
Someone who is nothing like you.
