Once you’ve hit rock bottom,
—you can never be controlled

I miss him more and more each day
I cannot help. No more to say
It makes no sense. No none at all
I hit rock bottom on a cyber fall...

I just hit rock bottom I fear
The landing sure tore up my rear
A BADLY bruised butt
But hey, ya know what?
I'm starting to LIKE it down here...

when you hit rock bottom "STAND"
Because your true foundation IS
Not rock, granite, nor sand, it’s Jesus- HALEHUJAH AND 
AMEN

I lost my heart
some how I fell
jumped off the edge
will I hit rock bottom
or will you catch me
holding me tight
never letting me be hurt
will you hold my heart close
protecting it
know its yours now
I only ask one thing
please don't toy with it...

Only a fool believes that they can't be broken.
My will has been broken time and time again,
to the extent of feeling as if I had hit rock bottom,
but after I undergo my self repair,
I have discovered that what has broken me in the past, is no longer there....

Total humiliation
Finally hit rock bottom
Knew it was time to ask for help
Waiving the white flag in desperation

Rehab crew, take me I’m yours

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...

Another contest
  despaired of my fate

So down and depressed 
  threw up what I ate

Just me and Simone Biles
  'cept for 'one or two traits...'

I'd plumb forgotten
  how my pen thinks

By the time I remembered
  I'd run out of ink

So, Simone, my dear
  we've lots in common

We both lost our grip
  ~ then hit rock bottom...

I believe I’ve found my hero
Hit rock bottom my world was zero

You built me castles in mid air
Brought me back from the depths of despair

Nurtured me and made me whole
Cherished me to my very soul

Gave me hope when my world was dark
Returned to me my hidden spark

You really mean the world to me
Because you have set my spirit free

There are only some things
You learn when you hit rock bottom.
There are only some thing you can learn From books.
There are only some things you can learn from the street 
There are only some things you can learn from real life.
There are only some things you can learn from school.
However you learn. There is always a lesson to be taught.

Touch me kiss me,make me feel wanted.
tell me I'm special,that I'm important.
Please for once pretend that your listening
Feed me a dream,what's wrong with wishing,
Hold me while I hit rock bottom,
your need is a mystery I can't solve,
I just want you to myself
pretend that there is no one else
no other person,no other place
just our hearts and empty space...

Erupting black fire
Coarse through my desire
Blotted caosim futile myre
Not far off from thee dyre

Dyre reckoning of us all
No more can i fall
Hit rock bottom lull
Lull of a reciprical

Lost in the decete
More then i secrete
Before i can leap
Feeling every heart beat

Fall again evermore
When do i hit the floor
How can there be more
In thee myre from wence before...

When you don't have the courage 
    to face one more day,
        when you have no desire to go on.
When you feel that life
    is passing you by
        and all hope and reason are gone.
When you've lost everything
    and you have nothing left
        and just staying alive is too much,
When you've hit rock bottom
    just reach out to God,
        and you'll find that God is enough....

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.....

So you've had a few bad breaks
Things have been lookin down
Your beiging to wonder
If its gonna turn around
Or if it'll remain the same
Everyday seems to be getting worse
Your ready to call it quits
And walk away
But you keep going anyways
Knowing your breaks comeing soon
You've hit rock bottom
And your not sure why
Your hanging on
But your waiting
Waiting for the break you deserve...

I hit rock bottom, slowly losing my 
mind
Looking for hope, seems hard to 
find.
Picking up the pieces, posting them 
for the world.
Depression making me sick, started 
endlessly to hurl.


Pushing for a better life, I'm 
begining to look down,
Saying to all my loved ones, this my 
status now.
Please understand the pain, fighting 
with my all,
I'm shermaine smith, and I'm 
writing my rise and fall....

when you get your heartbroken 
it feels like you're drowning............
it's so hard to breathe
your eyes start to water and you can't think
your face is so pale and your heart is slowly but surely stopping
it's so hard for you to move
you're sinking
your last thought is he/she told me he/she loved me
you've now hit rock bottom
then right when you're at your end
someone pulls you out to tell you that you were
DROWNING......................

I see it all falling apart
Even though it was never together
The pieces of my life shattered shards hit rock bottom
Where is the happyness
I'm only a kid
This isn't supposed to happen
How I'm feeling
I shouldn't be feeling
Feeling all this pain
Going through this torture
How can someone be happy with a life like mine
I can hardly understand how I do it day by day
Everything has crashed and set fire
Then the ashes scattered in the breeze...

My mountain is tall
cant even see the top
I climb and climb
sometimes I slip and fall 
or hit rock bottom
but I keep going
never stopping
every now and then 
I get company
they never stick around
but the times we have
are never to be forgotten
wether they helped me climb higher
take a step back
or stopped me from climbing at all
one day I'll be able to see the top
Ill stand on my mountain
and yell so that every soul
living or dead
can hear me yell the words
I Made It!!!...

A mother a daughter a sister a wife 
So much accomplished in such a short life 
To hit rock bottom all alone 
It's not what I thought I would have known 
I pray to God that he shines his light 
So I can get comfort through out the night 
He grants me a new day with the sun beaming down 
But I feel like I'm on a merry go round 
Ups and down and all around 
feels like I'm walking on unsoiled ground 
With hope in mind and faith at heart 
I know God will grant me a brand new start...
