I have to remind myself that "Battered But Still Afloat" describes my life perfectly. Regardless of all of life's troubles and ills, I'm still living.

Battered But Still Afloat

By Richard H. Fay

Tethered to troubled memories,
I remain caught in crashing waves
Pounding this poorly protective port
Lashed perilously by a pernicious past.
Vile recollections batter this frail vessel
Threatened by thoughts of previous wrongs,
But somehow this assaulted craft remains afloat.
