Battered and bruised

adrift and befuddled

tarnished and cast aside

pushed all the way back down the ladder

returned to rock bottom

that familiar abyss

where I am told I belong

among the congregation

of dejected failures

The ones who preached empathy and loyalty

sermonized eternal devotion

if I were to ever hit rock bottom

vanished like phantoms

nowhere to be found

when I reached the lowest of lows

far beyond my breaking point
