Rock Bottom
Rock Bottom
I feel frozen with no movement, chilled to the bone, wondering when will this pain stop,
needing and wanting to feel the warmth of love, I’m afraid but never scared, mostly
certain but never sure, always precise but never perfect, sometimes I feel like I’m living
in a circus, opened like a book for everyone to read it, as time passes I feel no more
privacy, surviving with a life of destruction, without destroying, a passion without
commitment, so far these situations in life have got me slipping, trying to push myself to
be more persistent, I wish I could be an eagle so I could fly away from this evil
existence, sometimes I feel reserved but I’m always wide open, sometimes I feel like I’ve
sunk below, but I’m always elevated, sometimes I feel nurtured and cared for, but I’m
always lonesome and feel completely alone, I wonder why my life has been this way for so
long, disgusted by the way that things have gone, I keep collapsing but I’m always
standing, I feel like I’m dumb but I’m continuously sharp, I feel overwhelmed a lot but
I’m not saturated, enough is enough, I get tired of feeling this way, ultimately corrupted
by the way the situations in my life have played out, now I finally hit rock bottom.
