thank you for the lessons

Thank you insecurity.
You taught me to keep thinking.

Thank you stress.
You taught me to get the best out of me.

Thank you greed.
You taught me to work for more fun.

Thank you deceit.
You taught me never to trust with my life.

Thank you thorns.
You taught me to grow a thicker skin.

Thank you deadlines.
You taught me that you will keep coming back.

Thank you problems.
You taught me to value my blessings.

Thank you ungrateful ones.
You taught me to expect nothing for everything.

Thank you pretenders.
You taught me how to discover friends.

Thank you defeats.
You taught me that winning isn’t permanent.

Thank you life.
You taught me that I will always be a student.
