How far I’ve come

To look back and reflect

how far I’ve come

to notice a shift

in the simple things

a clean, warm home.

to think I once couldn’t

and simply wouldn’t

the energy… the care

the motivation… the health

none of it was there

I get a glimpse of that life

it was like fighting for air

the simple air

it was not there…

it felt heavy and thick

it felt impossible

Yet here I am

looking back and reflecting

God was there.

he took me out of there

and brought me here

to ponder on this perspective of

how far I’ve come

i am here

the energy… the care

the motivation… the health

they’re all there
