Have To Stop

I’m at the bottom, I can’t reach top, I had to stop, These words encircling my head, I’m feeling dead, But I dread, That I’m alive, At the bottom of it all, I hide, I have to stop, I can’t go any further, I’m useless, Nobody cares, Nobody shares, Any hope or inspiration with me, How can I be, A great person, A great poet, Without anything to write, What will I write, A good poet, With a bad inspiration, What will I do, I’m at the end of my rope, But at the bottom of the heap, I’m getting crushed beneath it all, The doubting is driving me up the wall, I can’t take it, I’m going to fall, I’m going to fail, I have to stop, I can’t reach the top.
