Thanks for the memories

I’m thankful for the writing,

Uniting me to a group of people who

Accept who I am.

I’m thankful to everyone who supports me,

Because it’s hard, I know.

I’m thankful for my voice,

Even though it’s often dismissed.

Because at least I have one,

To use.

I’m thankful for my disabilities,

Because they make me stronger,

Like my depression teaches me,

What my parents don’t.

I’m thankful for my hallucinations,

Because they were always there,

Withstanding constant obstacles to stand by my side,

And save me when I was drowning

With no life vest.
