With Studs

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

(Chicago Illinois: Water Tower with Studs Terkel—July, 1977)


Why

I'm hitting rock bottom
I'm losing my concentration 
I'm feeling like I'm going to cry
I'm feeling horrible 
Why today?

Romancing a Stranger

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

Premium Member The View From Here

Hitting rock bottom
   is not always
   so hard

   There is moss
   in shades of green
   you have never seen

HITTING ROCK-BOTTOM IS THE BEST WAY TO PICK YOURSELF BACK UP BECAUSE WITHOUT A GROUND YOU'LL JUST KEEP FALLING 

“JUST MY THOUGHTS”

Rock Bottom

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

Bottoms Up

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

Disheveled and dressed in rags.
He sang like he'd hit rock bottom.
His heart ripped to shreds.

Premium Member Phases of falling

Falling for you 
 in Love 
 out of love 
falling into depression 
on my face
 into failure 
hitting rock bottom
 before climbing to the top again

Premium Member Rock Bottom

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

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

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

Catch

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

Yellow Submarine

Rock bottom is leagues above my head
I'm doing things I never thought I'd have to everyday
But I've painted the exterior of my sinking vessel yellow
Because the color reminds me that I should smile anyway

Martha Stewart is larger than life,
she succeeded over betrayal and strife.
She hit rock bottom with everything out of whack
but she did make the most admirable comeback.

Peak

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.

Lost My Heart

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

Premium Member Broken

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.

Hit Rock Bottom

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

Open a Door

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.

Drowning Faith

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.

Mania

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
