I've Got Myself to Lean On: A Gratitude Poem
A gratitude poem on the highs and lows that quietly shape you — and the self-trust that grows when you finally see they were always on the same team.
A gratitude piece, written on a day when both the highs and the lows looked, finally, like they had been on the same team the whole time.
Grateful for the highs
Grateful for the lows
Happy that I’ve grown
And gone through the flows,
Phases, and paths
That have shaped me
To be here now, it goes fast
No longer dwelling on the past
And next time I fall
It won’t be so hard
I’ve got myself to lean on
The most useful person to learn how to lean on is the one who never has to leave the room.
