A survivor, looking to be a thriver

I am a survivor,
And I will survive,
Because I know how to do that.
But, right now,
I’m not much of a thriver,
Because I don’t know so much about that.
I have had glimpses of it,
And occasional touches of if,
But, as a regular state,
It’s not always been there.
I don’t know fully
What “thriver” feels like,
And right now, can’t fully leap
To what that feeling is.
I am getting closer, though,
By believing in myself more,
And believing more in what I deserve.
I may just start believing even more
In what I can do,
What I have the power to do,
And then, looking around, and seeing
What I could do.
I’ll know I’m thriving
When I’m growing like I want,
And it’s coming naturally —
Well, more naturally, at least.
