Never Forget

I'll never forget
when you made me so depressed.
When you constantly made me feel less
converting me into a mess.
Those terrible memories that you knitted into my brain
are  now permanent including the pain.
It's like they are a part of me now and for that
I don't think I could ever forgive you
because you always told me you'd be there
and when you were, you only showed hate.
You were never there to support me
Or to even love me.
But you were good when you always managed to be there
To destroy me.
But I do  want to thank you,
for showing me who I would never want to be
for showing me all the wrong
and making me so strong.
You thought I was weak
but after you kept pushing me
I wouldn't back down,
I wouldn't stay quiet
I wouldn't just let you make fun of me.
I learned to fight back and although that wasn't always easy or right
I couldn't just let you say what you thought was right.
So now I finally understand
why you were put in my life.
So I could learn all the bad
and do all the right.
So that I could truly appreciate everything I have
and know what change I would want to see.
So I would become strong enough to one day stand on my own
and show you that I truly am so BOLD!
I used to believe your killing words but now,
Now I know that I'm so much more than that and I thank my mom for showing me that.
I was made for a reason
However I wasn't made for you to bully.
I wanted to believe that this was all a big dream
But the pain runs through me everyday like if it has taken over me.
So I look forward to the day I get to say goodbye.
Knowing that that's when I begin my new life
and all this pain will finally go down the drain.
I will no longer feel broken everyday.
And I won't have to act like everything's okay
because I will never forget
All these times you made me so depressed.

My father broke my heart before anyone else could but I have a wonderful mom that is slowly picking me up and putting me back together. I want my readers to conect to this piece.

Impossible is not a word, it's just a reason for someone not to try.

This poem is something I really relate too. It is pretty much everything I've ever felt. You're a great writer!
