The shattered remains of my health,
those crumbling walls of me.
Worn down and broken they may be
but they still hold me,
helping me breathe
when it feels like my last breath
has walked out on me.
My body still keeps me together
to feel I'm not down on my knees
begging for respite from the stormy weather.
And even on the days when it hides
in the leaves that scatter around me
I’m thankful for the voices
that call to check I’m doing fine.
The eyes that see when I’m struggling
to get from day to day.
For shining bright on my lonesome nights
For being there when I felt I’m just
a silhouette in the moonlight
and for hugging me tight
when I’m drowning in the river
that surrounds me from all the tears I cry.
For being the calm.
When I feel I’m just a stone
dropped in an ocean of storms.
My family showing me light
when days confuse and
darkness confounds me.
Thank you for refusing to walk away,
for helping me diffuse
the ticking bomb that sits within.
My friends near and far,
though I sometimes seem distant.
I see you keeping me in your hearts.
I feel them beat as I smile a loving sigh
watching the stars in my head floating by,
you are there
with a message waiting to be read,
a shared joke or some uplifting words
when I’m struggling to cope.
I appreciate you with every ounce of me.
I’m thankful that I have a place
to share my heart and soul.
The space to make sense of it all.
I’m thankful for the words that call
when I’m stuck in a hole
and it feels like I have no hope left at all.
I’m thankful for the pen.
When I was lost
it meant so much back then
and it means so much more when
I let my words reach out to find you.
I’m thankful for those
who hurt me, betrayed my trust.
Who made me
look deeply into the shadows
with a new sense of love.
You showed me that I wasn’t weak.
You broke parts of me
but I repaired them
and now I see
such beauty
in the world all around me.
