Let's Celebrate, We Lucky Few
I’m out,
But you don’t
Escape
The
Asylum
In one
Day.
It wasn’t
An overnight
Success
Or a
Fleeting
Failure,
But an effort
To stay afloat
When there were
No
Life
Rafts
Or
Vests
Left.
This isn’t
A
Let’s
Jump
In
And
See
If
I
Float
Situation.
Halfway through
The
Treading of water,
You realize
You can swim,
Only to realize
There are
Sharks
Among
Us
And its
Survival
Of the
Most
Fit
On a
Bell
Curve,
Not survival
Of the fittest.
You keep
Swimming,
And you try
To stay
Afloat,
But you’re not
Sure if you’re tired
Or if the end of the horizon
Is within
Sight
And you can keep
Fighting
To
The
Finish.
I made it,
But it wasn’t
A
Sprint
Or
A
Marathon.
It definitely wasn’t
A trip
Up a mountain.
It certainly
Isn’t as easy
As
Rocket
Science.
It was all of these
Things
And
More.
And that’s
The beauty
Of
Making
It.
You don’t
Until
You
Do,
But you certainly
Find a way
To
Keep afloat,
Whether it’s
Learning
To
Swim
Or swimming
To
Learn.
I made it,
And so can you.
Let’s celebrate,
We
Lucky
Few.
