Thank You

For the people who stood up for me
No matter if I was right or wrong.
For the people who were my pillar
At a time when I begged for support.

For thhe snickers and whispers
Of "fat ass" when I passed.
For the people who kept pushing me deeper and deeper
Into an unescapable hole.

Without you
I would not be the person I am today.
Without both Love and Hate,
The world would go without change.
For that, I thank you.
