Congratulations

I'm

so very

proud of you;

you've gotten so far

and achieved so many things

and are still achieving incredible things

and you will forever be, knowing you.

 

You

may think

that you lost,

but compared to others

you have won so much,

earned so much and won everything

you've grown and changed and still are.

 

You

are amazing

despite what you

often think of yourself

and you have done well,

and you need to know that

and see how far you have come.

  • Get up

    I'm watching you lie there, dejected, miserable at your idea of a failure. But it's not a failure if you got impressively high up on the leaderboard, if you got so close to winning but didn't.

  • Promise

    I stopped here. I ceased my walking and stood here, for as long as I needed to be until they came. I wait for them. They haven't come yet.
