223. So Close: Write about coming close to reaching a goal.
Sitting on the edge of glory,
Peering over the side
I shall be the candle thrown in darkness
That explodes with Herculean lightTipping to the cliff of fame

That amazes and astounds them allLeaning in the abyss of victory
Staring at the future pain

And doesn't moodily wanePlunging into the dim future
Seeing it rush back
I come prepared to make it good
There's nothing for happiness I don't lack*
