Lauren Mccoy Poet Free verse

Thank You

If I could tell him one thing
One thing
I'd tell him thank you

Thank you for hurting me
Thank you for bringing out my insecurity
Thank you for leaving me
Thank you for turning my world upside down
Thank you for making me lose myself
Thank you for turning this smile into a frown

Because if you didn't do that
I wouldn't have found who I truly am
I wouldn't know how much I am worth
I wouldn't know what it feels like to be hurt

Because now I am a woman full of strength
A woman who turns to God,
No man can take His place
A woman who seeks Him first
A woman who knows she is a sinner,
And still has some work

As much as I never thought I would recover
I have
And I have no regrets about the times we had

I'm sure he wouldn't expect me to say this
And he may not understand
But the next time I see him,
I'd say
"You may not be my man
You are the one who brought me where I am"

So that's what I would tell him
If I could tell him one thing
Just one thing
I'd tell him
Years have passed,
Two to be exact
I just want to say
Thank you
