Stop, Just Please Stop telling me to be thankful,
and Zip the part about relying on other people.

Because even before breaking spondylolisthesis news,
I have been trying to not rely on friends and families.

I am thankful that I have a caring family
BUT
I am not thankful for being who I am,
for what had happened, nor for what I am “Given”.

I am scared,
BUT I have to live in reality,
I have to move on,
no matter how heavy the obstacles are awaiting.
