Rock Bottom

Life throws you

Into an adventure

Tumbling through uncertainties,

nothing like the ones told

In the stories heard at younger ages,

But instead, real issues

Chasms spread wide beneath your feet,

Then you land on the smooth stone

Of rock bottom.

The vast space is dark

Lonely

But you grab onto the jagged rocks.

Faulty, they may not hold,

But you're forced to rely on yourself

And you climb

Rock by rock

Back to the top.
