Thank You Note
Pen to paper the offering delivered
I start to wonder is this truly what I need to do
Have I misdirected my appreciation and overlooked the true recipient of my gratitude
My focus turns to the untruth, a false sense of belief
They wished me well I relished in the accolades
But, something more propelled me forward on my life's journey
The realization that I had graced them with unearned power
To much time spent pleasing, not enough time growing
My desire for praise became a false sense of security
I became stagnant in my misconception of acceptance
I gave them the reigns and I became hollow
This powerful moment, the realization that through my own perseverance and grit I have arrived
I am happy to lay this pen to paper and say thanks for not believing in me
About this poem
This poem is about my journey to find my own self-worth. In my life so many people that I trusted and depended on had so little faith in me, they never believed that I could actually make my life a success. This is my thank you to all the doubters.
