Thankful And Even More Grateful

Thank you for my gratitude
I think of all the things you do
I think of all the things I have
I think of all the things I am

I am grateful for every time I’m sad
I am thankful for all the things, even the bad
Happy to have things that make me glad
Glad to have the things that make me mad

The fall, the leaves
All the colors within the trees
The rainy storms 
That aren’t as warm

The peace paired with the chaos
Silence amongst the sound
Growth in every struggle
All the things that make this world go round

For all the wonderful opportunities
Leaving heartfelt memories 
All of the beautiful families
The unity found in our diversities

I am thankful for my rage and hate
For all of my pain coursing through my veins
The anxious wreck sprouting from my worry
My nervous response that makes me scurry
All the bad that steers me to insanity 
Because with all the toxicity and insecurities
That stems from somewhere deep within me
Creates all of my beauties
My resilience, my confidence
And all of my bravery
It is what makes me strong
It is how I find my positivity

I am grateful for every experience
Even the worst ones to have ever had
That is what shapes who I am
And who I have yet to become

So bring on every obstacle you can
Because I will conquer and embrace
Not a single one I’d want to erase
I will accept and learn from every mistake
And no matter what I will not break
Because I look at the life I have today
I see how far I have come since yesterday
I look at all the things I’ve got going for me
And realize I wouldn’t want it any other way
There is not a single thing I wish to change
Because I love everything about today
And that's not possible without all of my yesterdays
