There's beauty, a peace
in discovering
tiny steps
Satisfaction in the small goals,
the close goalposts
the list of checkmarks
There is peace
In lowering the expectations
but not the goal
In lessening the pressure, the blame, that
cycle of shame
So that even if the speed slows,
it never fully stops moving
Progress
Healing
is not linear
Tiny steps
That never quit
Will overcome every setback,
Every rewind,
Every mistake
Tiny steps are what keep us moving
And faith is what takes us to the end.
