Rock bottom
Upon the hardest floor
We all must fall
And the weak shall perish
As the soldiers stand...

I'm losing my concentration 
I'm feeling like I'm going to cry
I'm feeling horrible 
Why today?...

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

Hitting rock bottom
   is not always
   so hard

   There is moss
   in shades of green
   you have never seen

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

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...

A heavy wheel turned on his life
when he spied on his errant wife.
Their marriage hit the bottom rocky
where he poured bottles of whiskey.

The Rock is the best wrestler around
Dwayne Johnson is never going down
Rock bottom not once but twice
Right then he was being nice
He'll always stand his ground...

I trace my charcoal tinted cats eye and decide
I'm done living a lie
Not many people stay when they see you hit the ground 
Rock bottom broke my teeth
So I can't believe he still thinks I'm pretty...

Because your true foundation IS
Not rock, granite, nor sand, it’s Jesus- HALEHUJAH AND 
AMEN

Peak, 
My crown, 
You let me 
Climb the mountain 
To reach the summit. 
You are the pinnacle, 
The zenith of my career. 
But before reaching the apex, 
I need to overcome the steep hill, 
Starting from the rock bottom to the top....

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...

HITTING ROCK BOTTOM
Don't look at hitting rock bottom as a dark and dank place to dwellLook at it as your first experience, as to what it is like, to live in hell

Open a door,
explore through roads that differ
from expectations,
Plead on your knees at the entrance 
of a royal castle,
raise yourself up from the ground 
of rock bottom,
A journey begins in your shoes 
from steps of man,
the door is your heart,
it won't open unless you can....

Lowest I’ve ever fallen!
Laying her balling.
God if you are the rock
At the end of rock bottom
I feel lost and forgotten.
I am defeated.
My faith has taken a beating.
God if you are there.
If you can still care.
If you hear me.
If you can forgive me.
Please god somehow save me....

Waking up today
What role will I play?

Rambling thoughts, pacing around
My mind is ghost, never to be found

Today is great! My soul will blossom
Oh no, nevermind, I'm back to rock bottom

Highs and lows
Excitement and woes

Will this ride ever slow down?
My life is a circus, and I the clown...
