Best Rock Bottom Poems


Rock Bottom
I was told rock bottom is a sad place,
a land full of misery and disgrace.

Rock bottom wasn’t bad at all,
I had quite a joyful ride taking that fall.

Lessons were learned in that enchanting city.
It taught me how to be grateful and not to wallow in...

Rock Bottom
Its not a downhill anymore. We've stopped.
Dropped. To the lowest of lows. From the highest of highs.
Nothing can change. Everything has flopped.
Mistakes will always be made. All promises will become lies.

It's the way we were brought up. No one holds on to their word.
No hesitation...

From Rock Bottom
If you hit rock bottom oh don't cry
Stop & look around; try focus on the sky
Yes little darling wake that 'you' in your heart
The one that will tell you: 'The only way left is up'
I hope you shut out the taunts of the world
That you...

Rock Bottom
It’s two in the morning;
another sleepless night.

I lay in my bed,
Sobbing to the silence surrounding me.

Although around me is hushed,
My mind is as loud as ever.

Thoughts are spinning around my head,
How am I going to get these thoughts out of my head?

It’s now five in...

Waiting For Rock Bottom
When I decided I would help you
It felt felt like I went off to war
And you are right, it's not my business
But I can't take it anymore

You gave me tiny slots of time 
Choice words I said between your lines
Hear me out you sniffling wreck
I...

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...

Rock Bottom
We all have a past, the place we come from
All housing regrets and things we should've done
Our lives we've lived, some better that others
And have had along the way both triumphs and shutters
My tale of woe is mine and mine alone
Just as you are the...

Rock Bottom
Loaded blue-eyed woman
On the blood wheel
Three-legged train grinds
Mindlessly delicious cuts
Sweat gently littering the floor
Rock Bottom...

Rock Bottom Is Far Away From Here (For Mai)
I don't know why I feel so hollow.
I do the inventory, and all the parts are there.
My heart still beats, my lungs fill, my blood still makes its rounds.
And yet, I just feel empty, eviscerated,
A shell of something almost human.

I prick a finger, and the...

Rock Bottom and Back
Rock Bottom and Back

So dark and empty, cold and lonely  as if in a pit,
But I know now rock bottom is where I had hit.
I called out in fright wanting someone to take me out,
It didn’t matter how I said it, quietly and some...

Premium Member Where's the Bottom
There is a bottom that is past what we thought we knew.
The sub-floors are there for false safety and reason, too.
When we get to the dirt under all the lies
and find the reasons we want to stay alive,
we are prepared to give it up and...

Premium Member Scattered Light
For days without end my light was dim
Left battle-scarred by war within 
Left heavy by this heart of sin
Left broken by the days begin 

Though the warmth of sun kissed my face 
I chose to wander in the darkest space 
Watching the world in a...

Premium Member At the Bottoms Dropped Out
At the Bottom's dropped out.

I'll write to you 
the end of the story.
The only one i know.
Sundown on a field of dandelions.
No step closer to rapture,
I smiled with no hurry 
when i found myself here,
at the bottom's dropped out.      ...
