Thank You (The Poem to the Ex)

Thank you for...
Cheating on me, it made me stronger

Thank you for...
Breaking me down emotionally, it made my skin tougher

Thank you for...
Verbally abusing me, it made me realize I can make myself happy

Thank you for...
Treating me poorly, now I can appreciate being treated well

Thank you for...
The hate you showed me, I learned I can not love a person past their pain

Thank you for...
The wounds you inflicted, the scars make for good stories

Thank you for...
Isolating me from my family and friends, it forced me to work on myself

Thank you for...
The money struggles, I now appreciate my good finances

Thank you for...
Making me feel inferior, I revel in my nearly drama-free existence

Thank you for...
Forcing me through all of it, because now…

I am a whole person and I am healed.

  1. I am so in need of this poem today! Yesterday was my angry rant day! I do feel the distance between the Me now and the Me connected to my ex.

    Thank you I sure did need this today!

  2. Lovebabz,
    I thought you might enjoy it. You came to mind while I was writing it.

    I hope you are making it out of your anger stonger, with more understanding and wiser than you were before.

  7. B-More Bap,
    Welcome to my blog! Come back to visit.
    Thank you for the compliment! I am glad you liked it.


    MsKnowitall,
    I worked hard on forgiving the ex. It took me a while and I am not sure I have totally forgiven him. But, I am still working on it so the next person will not be punished for it. Glad it came across the way it did.


    Don,
    Yes, it speaks of the closure I sought for a long time. Thanks for stopping in.
