thank you

I want to thank you. You always liked it when I said thank you.

Thank you for the blood in my mouth, the bruises on my body, the broken ribs, and all the concussions. Thank you for the memory loss and sleepless nights; for the flashbacks, too. Thank you for the numb feeling I get whenever I see myself in a mirror, and the panic in my lungs whenever someone balls a fist or raises a hand. Thank you for all my apologies, for every appeasing gesture and frantic recantation. Thank you for the shame, and the way I get sick when I hear that word. Thank you for how disposable I am, and for the way every act of kindness breaks my heart. Thank you for the way I'm still piecing myself together. For the pieces you kept, too. Thank you.

Thank you for being a wrath worthy of my patience.
