PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

How do I thank the one who opened

her eyes?

Who stood her in front of the mirror

and showed her the beauty

behind her cries.

How do I begin to ever express how thankful I am

that she is alive?

How do I explain to someone

that they gave her

the courage to survive?

Because what I see in her

is what I saw in me.

Through all of her scars and mistakes

I’m reminded of how I used to be.

No matter what I told her

it never went through

but then came you.

As broken as she was,

I couldn’t imagine what it would take to put her back together

Yet you showed her to her pieces

and helped her make herself better.

There’s a world of what I’ve been through

that I never want to happen to her.

I just want to say

Thank you.
