I’m the girl who asked<\/p>\n

“What did I do wrong?”<\/p>\n

“Was it something I said?”<\/p>\n

“Was it something I did?”<\/p>\n

It cut deep<\/p>\n

I would lie in bed<\/p>\n

Unable to sleep<\/p>\n

I was worthless<\/p>\n

I was dumb<\/p>\n

I was obnoxious<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was wrong<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You were the boy<\/p>\n

Who used and abused<\/p>\n

Who hit it and quit it<\/p>\n

A liar<\/p>\n

A cheat<\/p>\n

A manipulator<\/p>\n

It was you<\/p>\n

It was not me<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You missed the greatest opportunity<\/p>\n

To have all my love<\/p>\n

I could have been your best<\/p>\n

But now you have to settle for the rest<\/p>\n

After you, I am stronger<\/p>\n

After you, I am smarter<\/p>\n

After you, I am better<\/p>\n

Than I have ever been<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You made me realize<\/p>\n

How great I am<\/p>\n

So thank you for the pain<\/p>\n

Thank you for the lesson<\/p>\n

Thank you for setting me free<\/p>\n

To love someone else unconditionally<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
