Hope

Rock bottom People talk about it like they know what it means Have I been there I know I've been close But I believe there is still farther to go down But just how much farther Something tells me I just might find out No matter how far I've fallen I always manage to drag myself to slightly more stable ground My knees staining the ground below rusty with my blood Bone showing through flesh A pain I no longer feel I've become numb to most sensation Like a protective barrier a bubble around my heart Slowly I get to my feet and begin the careful administration of my wounds Past scars a testament to battles fought and won My ability to stand at all no longer a shock My growing knowledge of stitching jagged wounds and setting shattered bones has been battle born I am proud of these scars and these skills I don't think I believe in rock bottom after all I will not succumb until I'm dead This journey finally over and the next yet to begin
