Almost There

A Poem by btang

Lost in some body of water
Depths beyond my comprehension
I flail, I falter
Drown in desperation

Gasp and cough
Repetitive but keeps me breathing
That's what happens when things are tough
I overcome, I am floating

At the cusp of edgelessness
But that matters, naught
Because I bring forgiveness
For myself and the battle I fought

You are nothing more
Than a next step forward
One more open door
As I become a steward
