Lucky Are Those..

Lucky are those who

Have people to rely on

Lucky are those who

Don't need to go far for support...

I always tell myself,

I'm not a bitter person

I don't compete with others

Because I know everyone has their own path.

I do look at others

For inspiration, motivation, guidance

But this time I find myself looking at others

And having resentment, envy, bitterness

Because why do I not have what they do?

A shoulder to cry on.

Someone to help.

Someone to lean on.

Heck, someone to even talk to.

I know, for a fact, though, that this is my own doing.

Because I've been lucky in many other aspects

I have a roof, food, family, and kind people around me

I may not have a best best friend

But I have myself.

I'm able-bodied, healthy, mentally fit

My issues are trivial compared to those

Who face war, famine, effects of climate change.

So who am I to say I'm unlucky?

I don't have what I crave right now

But I have a lot more to go around.

So lucky I am...

To be able to share what I have

With others.

Lucky I am...

To be able to still function everyday.

Lucky I am...

For I still have it in me to perservere

And do things

That other people dream to do.

Thank you.
