Thanks a Ton

Thanks for ignoring
My pathetic pleas.
Thanks for all
My insecurities.
Thanks for infection
And thanks for disease.
Thanks for nothing;
Just bad memories.

Thanks for teaching me to rise when I fall....
Maybe I’m thankful after all.

Gratitude is hard to express for many people, especially if there is little to be thankful for... (suggestion: 'thank you' for 'thanks' in lines 3 and 6... better flow I think) Best wishes, Keith
