Thank you for hurting our brains
Thank you for making our tears fall like rain
Thank you for all the miserable times you've given us
Thank you for the disdain you've caused us to feel
Because now we can get stronger
Now we can punch the walls harder
And we become free to help others
Thank you, to those who hurt me.

Sincerely, me
I do not need your permission to be myself, or help myself, or walk away from toxic relationships
