Thank You

Friendships had altered
pain had sunk in
my purpose was defeating
I could not reach within.

I could not see
past the pain
I could only cry
and drown in the rain.

I knew naught of myself
or who I was to be
I could only drown in misery
forgetting to be me.

I forgot what was important
I did not know where to go
I felt that everyone around me
was only my foe.

Anger had consumed me
blinding my sight
making me sit back
giving up the fight.

I felt so worthless
no one could know
the life I was living
I just wanted to let go.

You picked me up off the ground
showing me only truth
helping me to rebound.

You pulled me out of my pain
showing me true joy
One so deep
not even I could destroy.

Now when I cry,
it is not for what is lost
but for what is now found
for the true happiness
of my feet being planted firmly on the ground.

You did more than you'll ever know
more than you had to do,
You brought back life's glow
and for that, I thank you.
