I just wanted to say thank you,
even though I don't know what for.
I just wanted to let you know,
I have a hard time with words,
when they are not written.
I just wanted to make you laugh,
staring into your sea-glass eyes.

A toast to the ones who hurt me,
the ones who made me cry,
late into the night.
Who made me believe I was worthless.
Made me believe no one would ever love me,
could ever love me.
A toast to the ones who hurt me.

I am still learning to love myself
Wake up every morning feeling like I am worth it
I am still learning to say no
Put myself first 
I am still learning to be brave

There is no thing in this world,
More powerful,
Then a girl,
With a pen,
Who is strong enough,
To let go. 

My youth is still not over, 
but shadows fill the empty spaces,
where people used to be. 
My minds still troubled,
my lungs still weak,
and my hearts still on fire.
Collecting the names,
of the ones who hurt me.
