This is What I Want for Revenge

 This is what I want for revenge:

I want you to be happy.

I want you to live a long, glorious life.

I want you to face the hard parts of yourself and grow

Even if you flinch the first few times you look in the metaphorical mirror.

I want you to do the difficult work in yourself.

Face your demons. Make peace with your past. Submit to the future.

I want you to prioritise your own joy.

I want you to learn to communicate.

I want you to learn to love without fear.

I want you to learn how to accept love from others.

I want you to fight the dark parts of yourself

And I want you to win.

I want you to take accountability and responsibility

For your actions and choices.

I want you to be worthy of my love, which

I gave unconditionally, and which you threw away.

I want you to be alive, both physically and mentally.

And I want you to be happy. Painfully, boundlessly happy.
