You reprimanded me for everything I did,
You demoralised me for every try I made,
You degraded me everytime I thought I achieved something.
You pulled me down for every step I climbed.
I don't know what it gave you but I got my soul broken by it
My heart cold my it,
My body numb by it,
And my innocence lost by it.
You made me leave my everything ,
You threw me unguarded in a forest of killers,
You made me fight for survival
You made me realise my true potential .
I don't know if I should blame you for everything you took from me or thank you for everything you made me today.
Either way
I will be there whenever you need me,
I will protect you when you broke me,
I will save you when you killed me.
Not because I am a good person.
No, that's not it
It's because I was taught to return
Pain with smile
Darkness with light
And
Hatred with love.
