Progress
I lost my struggle, then I won,conceding was my greatest victory.
The battle raged on for seasons galore,the knife twisting deeper inside.
Alive so I was, but lost in a trance,reluctant to feel what I felt.
A door was thrust open, inside my mind,revealed that for which I was searching.
A haven of life, to ease my pain,and learn how to live with myself.
Forging ahead with the smallest of steps,and leaping forward in great strides.
Becoming the person that I’d like to be,each day is a step nearer to it.
As long as I pass, this thing all around,I get what I give in return.
And smile as I plod, through this gift I call life,the dibbuk of drink will stay quelled.
