Proverbial Rock Bottom

Saying there is a rock bottom  
Absurd to me  
One well versed being in pits 
I never felt rocks  beneath  
Hitting rock bottom  
Different for each 
You might sink down  
To a sandy beach. 
But that would be  
To easy a fate 
To be in a pit of hell  
And only scathed  
On the way down  
Rocks of hate 
Ripping the soul 
Self inflicted as you know 
But the sandy  bottom  
Please don't tell. 
It's my secret, I only attest 
That it is cold.

nice poem Andrea. I can relate with the struggle of addiction. But remember there is always redemption. I invite you to read my poem on addiction "Changing The Clock." Hopefully can add some inspiration on the subject for you. Much Love.-Patrick Farley IV
