Trying...and Doing

It wasn't such a big thing.

People do it all the time.

She's done it before 

Made it to work after a poor night of sleep.

Doing it doesn't make her special 
Or inspirational 
Or important

But it did make her proud of herself 
Something she is learning to be
And she felt resilient
An adjective she's longed to feel worthy of

She accomplished more than she thought she could
Both with her brain and her body
Fatigue did not win today.

Each time she has even a small victory.
She congratulations herself
And makes a space to remember 
The next time she tells herself she can't
