Seasons

a week ago I stumbled
at least I did not fall
I steadied myself and kept walking
my pace a bit slow
faster than watching grass grow

yesterday I fell
and was filled with shame
I wallowed in my state
though there was no warmth
it felt better than trying
trying yet failing

today I crawled
with a glimmer of hope
that’s all I need to get back
I will make it
I just need to survive

tomorrow I’ll stand
I won’t have my chip in
I’m on course for victory
the willpower is there
and where there’s a will, there’s a way
