Thank you for...

Thank you for all the times you listen to me cry
Listen to me yell and let my frustrations go by
Spitting words at you that you don't want to hear
I'm sorry for all the times I hurt you
Out of anger, sadness or fear

Thank you for standing by me and loving me
Even when I don't love myself
Thank you for showing me how to
Deal with the life I was dealt

Thank you for all your help
Your encouragement and love
You always see the best in me
And tell me you're very proud

I've been through some tough times
I was given the world and it was taken away
I thought my life was going to change
Thought it wouldn't stay the same

Thought someone actually saw me for all that I was worth
Thought I was going through some type of rebirth
The transition from girl to woman
Has so far been hard...
Many promises taken, then broken to shards

It was all a lie
And I believed
I feel like a fool
I've been decieved

There was a piece of me missing
And it was far away
But now I know it was the wrong piece
It fit the wrong way

Thank you for making me realize
Opening my eyes and making me see
That beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And that the beholder is and will always be me!!
