Rock Bottom

i know this place.

.

when the waves bring me under,

far from any light and warmth,

i find myself here,

sitting on this cold floor,

gravity pulling at every atom,

each one assuming unbearable weight.

.

Rock bottom.

.

i told myself this place would become a memory,

nothing else,

but when every door closes,

this one's invitation never wavers,

and so,

through guilt and rage and tears and pain,

.

i’ve come back

to Rock Bottom.

.

i’ve come back

to self-hatred

to depression

to anxiety

to the home of toxic voices,

.

i’ve come back

to Rock Bottom.
