Drop to kiss
the sweet earth,
for you finally
made it to shore,
albeit with a hundred
helping hands,
but the self-made man
is a just a lie anyway.
Take a breath,
enjoy the fruits before
you go in to struggle
with the next step.
Determined to ascend,
however slow the rise,
adapt no matter
how harsh conditions.
Time to conjure
perseverance.
Push the limits
your mind projects,
defeat the mantras
that infect you,
perpetuating the dismal cycle,
and commit to spiraling out
at long last.

Inspiring. And I also agree no one is ever a completely self-made man. There’s always someone helping us along the way even if it’s only our parents. =)
Its frustrating to be so dependent, but I’m thankful to have those that care enough to lend helping hands — especially the parents!
