Being At The Bottom
People say
Being at the bottom
Means there’s only one way to go-
Up.
But does it ever feel to you
That when you hit bottom,
You see the top,
You see where you want to be,
But someone throws you down a shovel,
And proves people
Wrong.
There is something deeper
Than rock bottom.
I know.
I was there.
But after a while,
You get tired of being
At the bottom.
And you start looking
For things to change.
And when nothing does,
You finally decide
That you yourself
Have to be the change.
So that’s what you do.
You move on.
You take the source of the negativity
Out of your life.
Cut it out
With a knife.
Painful or not,
It’s what’s best for you
And sometimes
You have to do what’s best for you.
They will survive
Without you.
You will miss them.
And they might miss you
But you will find new,
And you will add positivity
To yourself.
And then you find
Being at the bottom
Isn’t so bad after all.
Because being at the bottom,
You realize
What is keeping you down there.
And then,
While they are stuck at the bottom,
You make your way to the top.
All the way
To the top
And then you fly.
You fly right out
From that hole/well/whatever it is
And when you look back down,
They are still there
Holding each other down
And you look around
Seeing the positivity
And it’s so beautiful up here
You could cry.
You see
How much better life is
If you surround yourself with the right people
Because the wrong people
Are still stuck at the bottom.
So now guess who they’re looking up to?
You.
