To those of you who have pushed me -
Thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have risen.
To those of you who laughed at me -
Thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have cried.
To those of you who just couldn't love me -
Thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have known real love.
To those of you who said I was ugly,
Thank you.
You made me see my inner beauty
To those of you who said I would spend my life alone,
Thank you.
You made me realize I always had me.
To those of you who didn't want me,
Thank you.
You put me on a better path.
To those of you who said I would never make it through,
Thank you.
You gave me the courage to try.
To those of you who laughed at my dreams,
Thank you.
I used your laughter as music on my journey to fulfillment.
To those of you who said I would fail,
Thank you.
You helped me detach from the outcome and enjoy the journey
To those of you who left me,
Thank you.
You gave me inner strength
For those of you who cut me with your harsh words,
Thank you.
Your cuts made room for more love to reside
To those of you who hurt my feelings -
Thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have felt them.
But it is to those of you who thought I couldn't do it
It is you I thank the most
Because without you I wouldn't have tried!
