Analysis of Thank you.



It feels good to get these feelings out.
To rid my soul of the dark thoughts I think about.

Just to know that I will be okay.
With every word I write down and say.

To not be imprisoned by these things anymore.
To not be held to what I wasn't responsible for.

To just know that we can let these feelings out.
We don't have to worry what others doubt.

It's not about whether people believe us or not.
It's about freeing our soul, it's the only one we've got.

The fact that so many people have shared similar experiences too.
Makes me so sad, for all we've experienced and what we've been through.

It's nice to know that people can relate and that we are not alone.
To see the glimpses of their soul, which they have beautifully shown.

To know that we aren't alone in this sometimes dark cold place.
Gives me some courage and strength for the next day to face.

So I thank each and every one of you and I will till the end of my days.
For sharing your souls and helping me get through life, this endless maze.

For each day that I am on here, I feel stronger than I did the last.
The fact that I don't have to keep my secrets to myself, is just a blast!

I know at times they may be jumbled and the content hard to hear or read.
With each one you choose, it's another piece of my soul that you've freed.

So this is my prayer for you as you continue to write.
I hope that God gives you strength to not give up your fight!
