At Last

Days have come where I wake up
A feather is how I would describe
The delusional feeling I now abide
Like surfing a wave at its peak

At last, joy is rushing into me
Commitment, strive, and integrity
Making time for things I love
Pushing myself to never give up

It is the longest I have felt this way
Even looking back 365 days
This time I have hope not to give in
My emotions can be put into a bin

I have some lows but am able to tell
The trigger which now rings like a bell
Coming to accept and address it helps
At last, I find peace and balance

Think of it like a tug-of-war
Positivity finally wins the match
Hard enough it pulls against the other half
Standing strongest to its ground 

Work, is how I got to this state
Luck will not make it stay so great
I need to remember moments pass
That is what got me here, at last.
