Because...

Because of how you
spoke to me... I am now
strong. Your hurtful words
are my strength in my life,
and i can finally say,
No more.

Because of that time so
long ago, when my heart
was so easily broken,
You pretended to hold on,
but pushed me farther away.

Because you cussed at me,
told me i shouldn't be on this
Earth, because i am not wanted
by your standards, I have newfound
strength to hold myself together
enough to say,
"I am worth more than you will
EVER be, and I know I can get
through."

Because I am not dead yet to
emotion, yes, it still
hurts, but because of you, I
am stronger.
