The end of a rough time

I am back

stuck in the middle of nowhere
i was this lost sailor
attempting to repair my broken ship
yet trying to sail away at the same time
going nowhere
spending far more(time) than i should be
i was confused
happiness was a thing of the past
sadness written all over the present
future was engulfed in darkness
treasure hunter i was
with the keys to riches (happiness)
safely in my hand
i was marching towards glory
only to trip and stumble at the last hurdle
only to lose it all like a zombie
i moved in and out of life
going everywhere
being nowhere
i was trying to find my feet once again
like magic
i woke up one day and found the keys
safely inside my pocket
gone are the times searching for it everywhere
gone are the days i spent wandering aimlessly
now, like a phoenix rising out of ashes
i was this sailor who salvaged a brand new speed boat
all ready and raring to go out into this open ocean (of life)
to reclaim what was once thought to be lost
the sun had set and plunged my life into darkness
without a light to guide, i wandered aimlessly
going nowhere, yet going everywhere
now, the sun is back
with the keys in my hand
like a giant condor
i soar high up in the skies
ready to take on the world
like a banished king with a new army
wanting to reclaim my throne
i am back to be the best
i am back to lead the rest

I found this poem and really felt a connection to the words. It is nice, a relief even, to know that someone else has felt the same as me at some point. It is perhaps coincidental that I would come accross this at the same time as I had just started to "see the light at the end of the tunnell" for want of better words.
It was like I woke one day and wasn't sad anymore, and I it amazes me that it happened, just like that. This poem helped me I think, and I am glad that someone could put it into words.
Hope it will help someone else too.
I found it on:

There is alot of nice stuff there I related to quite a bit of the work. There is a poem called
"be the best" under friendship poems, which I also love.
