When life throws you down, for an anchor you search
Sometimes help arrives, sometimes you are left in the lurch
Then that anchor you have to conjure
Somehow, out of thin air, you have to ensure
That a way to pull yourself up you find
Create a fictional anchor in your mind
Pretend someone is giving you a hand
Take that proffered help, and then stand
You do have support, it lies within you
Whatever the hurdle, it will carry you through
*
You are your own support system, your own
Cheerleader, you can traverse this journey alone
If someone comes along, enjoy the companionship
Depend on yourself though, don’t let your inner support slip
As you help yourself, the universe will conspire
To make you succeed, you will yourself inspire
To take on challenges new, clear hurdles many more
Keep swimming, the current will take you to the shore
