Thank You

Thank you body
For not letting me down
This year

For allowing me

Consistent workouts that
Calmed my nerves

For not getting too sick

Though deprived of
Sleep and nurture

Shell of me

That carried the
Stress of me
Bore the weight of my soul
In every tensed up muscle
You deserve a reward

For not letting fatigue win

For somehow getting stronger
For continuing to put one foot
In front of the other
And walking forward
Especially on days
When the girl you house
Didn’t much feel
Like walking
At all
