I choose to remember you
Not by how you hurt me
But by how you taught me to heal
Not by how you left me
But by how you taught me to never abandon myself
Not by how you broke me
But by how you taught me to rebuild myself
Not by how you dimmed my light
But by how you helped me to shine
Not by how you kept me trapped in a place of comfort
But by how you empowered me to leave my comfort zone
Not by how you left me feeling weak
But by how you taught me what it means to be strong
Not by how you tried to control me
But by how you taught me to be free
Not by who you told me who I was
But by how you taught me to define myself
And above all
I choose to remember you
Not by how you were unable to love me
But by how you taught me
To love myself.
