The Rock Bottom
The Rock Bottom

Deep and deep as I go
The soul is all I see
Lying bare,
Nothing to hide, nothing to show.
No one to please, no one to prove.
The water, as cold as the soul.
This is emptiness, the end.
But I am not dejected, for I know the world up above.
The warm glowing lights, burning your soul.
I want no light, I want no sun.
For the sun does not shine anymore,
it burns, and turns to ashes all the shimmer covered dreams.
When the gloss falls, the nightmare comes true.
The demon lurks.
So deep I dive, to the end , to keep my soul.
Itâs cold but, I wonât look up, because up above he glares, his eyes, orbs of gut wrenching fire.
The darkness engulfs me,
all my effort,
all my soul, to this dust.
oh alas itâs the end.
But.....
The earth shakes, and breaks.
I see lakes of fire, the warming kind,Â
rips the ground and shines.
I see new life, I see the sign.
Because,
When you hit rock bottom
All you can do is shine.
Shine,and shineÂ
till your warming burns the demon,
but,
Now aren't you the demon ????

Wow I just loved the decent into darkness here. Your imagery towards that depressive self destructive state of mind is penned perfectly here. That want to be numb, not to take part in life. The wreckage we can become. Just worded wonderfully. Thanks for sharing this fab write
