I must thank you
for what you have done for me lately.
You’ve liberated my spirit
and provided me with inspiration
to last for weeks and weeks
(months, maybe).

You’ve given me something to live for
even if it’s only some slight form of revenge
as I stay up nights
thinking about how you’ve crushed my soul
and considering if there is any way
I can return the favor.

Life seemed meaningless before you
and then you gave me reason to go on.
And after you took that away
I found an even stronger motivation
so again, thank you
and beware.
