Poem
thank you to the ones who carried me here the ones that became my parents when my parents couldn’t hear me the ones who took in that little girl and saved her the ones who became her friends when the ones she had made her feel like who she was was wrong the ones who defended this body and kept us safe the ones who protected us and took care of the hard things the ones who led us to a future and gave us time to realize that we could have one thank you to the ones who held me and thank you to the ones that let me hold them thank you to the ones that let me in and thank you to the ones that pushed me away thank you to the ones that forgot and thank you to the ones that made me remember thank you to the ones that helped me forget when it felt like my every cell was splitting and like my brain was oozing out of my ears when my heart was pounding so fast and so loud that i thought it would break when part of me wished that it would thank you to the skin that i destroyed thank you for repairing what i broke even when there was barely enough strength to keep our lungs pumping thank you to the stomach that did its best to keep down food and water thank you to the nerves that signaled when something was seriously wrong and we needed help thank you to the legs that kept walking to the arms that kept lifting to the hair that kept growing to the mouth that kept talking to the ears that kept listening to the brain that kept thinking to the heart that kept loving thank you for not letting us go even when it felt like the world did thank you to the ones who carried me here and thank you to the ones that showed me a reason to stay
