my whole body is practically humming
relief flooding my veins
a heart that is light
for once
in a very long time
thank you god
for being so good to me
thank you body
for fighting so hard to keep me alive
life is precious
and never more so than when you realize
just how easily
it can slip through your fingers
each thud of my heart
each rise of my chest
the legs that propel me
and the arms that carry heavy burdens
this brain
the one i curse so often
they do their best
and it's time i recognize the hard work it does
and love myself for all my faults
and weaknesses
