when i hit rock bottom
when i hit rock bottom..
i was exalted
i didn't know what to expect
i was depressed and dejected
how could i possibly..
how unjust it is...
but i think i should accept it
hitting rock bottom
maybe in the near future
this rock bottom where i am now
will be the foundation
of the better me
and a better life for my family..
hit rock bottom
fell into a whole
of one's own making
created from years
of mistakes that
have pilled up
atop one another
creating an emotional
cave in creating a
grand canyon sized
whole to be constructed
within the land of
the past self's missteps
I wanted to talk--my life has hit "rock bottom."
You said; "No...we've nothing in common."
I thought we did...we both go
to the same church.
For some fellowship, I'll begin a new search.
Many Sundays... My voice goes unheard.
While in your hand, you were carrying God's word.
Are there others who'd spend
a minute of their time?
Or am I just a shadow whom they would leave behind?
I thought the blood of Jesus was our common thread.
What are we doing here? Are we spiritually dead?
I hope that with me, you won't just "push aside."
Wasn't it also for me--that our saviour died?
You meet different people every day.
How do you react to others
whom God brings your way?
May God's Holy spirit convict you to spend
Your time with others-- not just those you call "friend."
Being Christ' s example is truly a blessing indeed.
Reaching out to the hurting--those in need.
This is where Christianity really starts.
When we reach out to the
hurting and broken hearts.

Hearing since day one only what i wont achieve.How much of a failure i am because i choose
not to live by anybody else's rules. Just because i dont stand up to their view of whats
perfect or acceptable to them.But im done with changing and reforming myself for the next i
was meant to be this way and there is someone in the world who will accept me as i
am.Hurting some what just from putting myself in a position where i actually thought it would
be different so much for hope lol . Sometimes i cant help but laugh at my self because as i
look at my life what was being said was right all along.
