For Me

this one is for me
where I congratulate myself thus far
for making it passed all the obstacles of life
for passing by the skin of my teeth through school
for making connections with people I may not have liked before, but now I care for
for waking up every morning and loving myself
for giving myself credit, where credit is deserved
for forgiving myself for mistakes in the past
for taking my past to build a brighter future
for allowing people in; to love and to be loved
for loving myself more than I will ever love anyone
for hoping for a brighter tomorrow
for having faith in the next generation
for praying for the peace of this world
for seeing the good in everyone
for not taking this life for granted
for just living my life 
this one is for me
