Road To Rock Bottom

Rock bottom is a dark lonely place 
One people will pray to never see
It's overflowing with the lowest lows 
Reminding you of a life full of misery 

The select few who are exiled there 
Forced to travel God's forsaken road alone 
With potholes of pain and lanes of loneliness 
This road is where desperation is grown

By the time you notice it will be too late 
You will be past any chance of any return 
Down this road to a hell on earth 
To a pain far worse then a fires burn

Your friends you had will shun you
And worse yet their family will too
Leaving you broken, lonely and scared 
Because of the things you chose to do

In the weakest moment of your life 
When you need a shoulder to lean on 
The pain will overcome you when notice 
Everyone that you love is now gone 

Once this realization finally sinks in for you 
You'll see you have reached your destination 
There's a chance you get home safely 
Or you will give into deaths determination
