Anchored
How long would it take
For an anchor to sink?
How long would it take
If I was the anchor?
What if the waves
crashing above
Were the daily struggles
I was meant to face
What if the sea creatures
swimming around me
Were the family and friends
Who keep me steady
Surely the elements
would have no effect
Surely my problems
wouldn't, also
My own weight
is enough to bring me down
My own courage
is enough to hold me there
Through homelessness
through college
through leukemia
it is enough
Through it all
I am still anchored
