The Experience of Standing Tall

My downfall?
I am extremely independent.
And most of the time stubborn,
In my lament.
And getting over it takes time spent.

The advantage of this I get?
The experience of standing tall,
From a crawl and walking briskly!
Gaining and maintaining,
A strength felt in my legs.
