Micro Wins
Small victories, one step at a time.
A hill I couldn't climb last week.
Without resenting my body.
I didn't crash after a walk.
Progress.
No medals.
No mile markers.
Quiet shifts.
Illness changed the rules.
Breath I didn't fight for.
Rest before the crash.
Wins don't feel like wins.
Don't silence symptoms.
Don't fix fatigue.
They build something.
Trust in myself.
Rhythm with my body.
Possibilities thought lost.
On trail, that's real.
Each step I can take becomes.
Each turn back before I break.
That's progress too.
