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 live instead of die. The dirt we find on the floor...

I am at rock bottom so I ask.. Are you real? Do you hear me? I realize suffering is necessary So we may turn to you.. Are you real? Do you hear me? I am at rock bottom The only place to look is up.. Are you real? Do you hear me? I have waited so long...

Rock Bottom
Best not to be loved widely but deeply. Not by peers but within oneself. Love so deeply, down to the warmest part of the Earth’s core. Rock Bottom. Pressure so strong, darkness penetrates. Breaks through the chest, sharpest pain. Love so deeply, break through the chains. Climb the stairs from floor to ceiling. Seconds feel like hours. Hours feel like days. But to love so...

day one you woke everything you thought you were before you closed your eyes and inhaled the dreams of your twisted line is discovered to be a lie a falsehood, trickery, fabrication disappearing behind a cloak of aberration crawling on hands stuck to scarred wrists pilfering life from dumpsters of deception avoiding the glares of incandescent veneer snubbing red streaked orbs within...

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 flurried pace As what was left all fell from grace Held...

Rock Bottom Again
And once again it happened, I took to long to make a choice, Now I am back down on rock bottom, I should've listened to that little voice, The one that kept telling to let go, Change yourself before it's to late, But since I have such a hard head, I've reached bottom on this date, Don't feel sorry for me...

Rock Bottom
Stand and flight, or fly and flee, The two choices we face. Stand unmoving, Or fly above. Trampled by the world, Torn to pieces by your “friends,” Your family. Facing it in solitude, Going through it alone. Take to the sky, Avoiding the stones and javelins. Finding the strength to continue, To survive. But a stone clips your wing, The exhaustion takes over, And you’re left free falling Falling back to...

Rock Bottom
Remembering where you are and have been Others may not see when you are struggling Crying in the dark laughing in the morning Knowing the strength that it has taking you But there were times when you lost strength Others tried to help you for you to shun them The struggle you were facing were your alone Those mountains were not insurmountable Once...

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 self pity. Everyone should visit Rock Bottom once...
