they say
when you hit rock bottom
the only way to go is up
there's no way
like the war at bay
to merely sit, or just stand up
why we can't go up
we're just shattered teacups
our contents poured out,
still gravity holds us down
into the town
of screams
no sunbeams
no smiles
all the while
we've hit rock bottom
but we can't go up
it's autumn
leaves fall from the trees
while they shot him
he fell to the ground
and they ask, "how"?
how exactly?
their words were gravity,
pulling him down
back to the town
but he got up
somehow.
they say
when you hit rock bottom
the only way to go is up
only if you have luck
only if you have wings
only if you are the king
only if you set them free
the words that pulled you down
that made you go back to that town
but you'll let it be
and those words won't keep you on the ground
anymore
it's winter
it's cold
snowflakes are gold
they shatter,
they melt,
and they are really hard to hold
they disappear within seconds,
or if they survive,
to join a pile
but all the while
they hit rock bottom,
but they can't go up.
