To those of you who have pushed me -
thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have fallen.

To those of you who laughed at me -
thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have cried.

To those of you who just couldn't love me -
thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have known real love.

To those of you who hurt my feelings -
thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have felt them.

To those of you who left me lonely -
thank you.
Without you I wouldn't have discover myself.

But it is to those of you who thought I couldn't do it
It is you I thanked the most
Because without you I wouldn't have tried!
