Small Victories

August 21, 2018

small victories 

are important

in the depths of this cloudy rain filled winter

my hair is brushed today

and my socks are matching

i sharpened my pencil on the first try 

and my toast is perfectly browned 

it's not that i'm an optimist 

because i don't think i am 

it's that i have learned to smother my mistakes

in cups of coffee perfectly topped with cream

my small victories are my blanket

they cover me 

and are my only hope 

for surving this winter
