the measure
of success
was surviving
the crazy times
the broken life
the painful why/'/s
finding that balance
between
sadness and screams
some thing
we wasn/'/t even
looking for
the balance
found us
as we now
slowly
but surely
three steps forward
two steps back
picking up
along the way
the shattered pieces
of our
self respect
of our
growing intent
to control those thoughts
that we no longer
represent
without walking
the path
of poor me
self regrets

This is close to home for me. I have had severe depression all my life but I handled it. The my wife died almost 5 years ago and wham, I was like what you wrote.
What you call the balance, I call surfing.
I say that its not a matter of winning the war, rather its win the battle. I also say I had to learn to surf the waves between high and low.
I am impressed with how you have captured these emotions. very well done
