Work In Progress

Finally tears of joy swim from these tired eyes
No longer am I drowning in murky waters
Nor trapped in a crowded school of goldfish 
Today I dive into fresh invigorating waters
Hoping to make a huge splash 
To pay forward a path for others
Never will I forget those who kept me a float
For they are my hero's and they always fed me hope

It took forever to get a job again and it really messed with my self confidence. I really appreciate the comment. Have a great day Daniel :)
