To Give My Thanks.

I thank you, for refusing to listen, because it gave me the fuel i needed to scream, I thank you for destroying everything i had, because it taught me too dream, and articulate a magical kingdom, of determination, because you could never tackle something you couldn't touch.
I thank the gutters, and the bridges and these streets for giving me refuge in my midnight hour wanderings of need. Where we are tied together by the tears we bleed, in a world where we are just searching for sunlight trapped in a blizzard, where in each ballroom we danced with the devil, we drunk each others souls and feasted on each others smiles, to gain the stamina we needed so we could rise above, and soak up the silent symphony of the sweet perpetual beat echoing through eternity that helped us keep shuffling on broken feet through hallow hills of tragedy.
I thank my friends, they stood while i walked through the falling rain, they converged upon my coardinates picked up my broken body, breathing life into the coldest days, keeping me through the unbroken nights, showing me the way, telling me to stay, when i wanted to fly and keeping me grounded when the flames began to descend, they held my hand while my soul was aloft within my nightmares, they signed the treaty and made peace with my inner monsters, i feel so fortunate, that there eyes reached mine, that i could listen to their passionate tales that i could ever know such angels, that such people would consider me, the devil, to be of some importance. it swells my heart up and fills my eyes, and i search for something to return i have nothing but love, i have nothing but my soul and my heart, which i would gladly give, so i thank them, for showing me how to be selfless and how to love, how to fail, for making me smile, for keeping me company as i trekked through these hard miles, and letting me love them like definite, letting me open my arms to be there for them through anything.
Too my past and future thankyou for teaching me and giving me hope thank you to mother earth for letting me walk her face, thank you life, for allowing me to live through my trials, thank you my dearest, for giving me strength, thankyou is not enough, but it is all i can say.
