I didnt need them, but they need me

They pretended that they cared for me,
But when it all went wrong,
They watched me fall.

They didnt try to save me,
When I asked for help,
They turned their backs and let me crawl.

They left me to my shame,
Never caring about my pain.
Then again I started to stand.

My suffering had made my stronger,
My hate for them gave me purpose.
Id show them I was worth it.
Then I realized what theyd done.
What theyd helped me to see.

Climbing slowly I saw them falling.
Reaching out for me,
I gave them my hand.
Catching them as they fell,
Helping them for helping me.

For leaving me to see,
That I didnt need them.
For letting me struggle to stand on my own.
With out them I could never have become,
Everything I could be.

So I helped them as they fell,
To thank them for not caring,
And for helping me realize,
How better a person I could be.

But now they needed me,
Cause if they were to fall,
Never again would they be able to stand.
For it was too late to teach them as they had,
Taught me.
