Lessons Unintended

You taught me many things, but not the lessons you intended to teach
In your inability to give, I learnt to put myself first even if it hurts another
The lack of compassion, empathy and emotion, I’ve learnt temperance
Your heightened sensitivity’s taught me to be clearer and be aware of my words
 Those and other more loving lessons have made me better version of myself
