We are taught to dream big
and to believe
in even the impossible.

But what do you do
when your dreams falter
and the only place
left to go is
rock bottom

When you fumble in the darkness,
looking for nothing
because nothing
is there
and your shadow is ripped
from you

Because you are no longer alone
in being alone
Your heart open and
ready to forgive
those who have
made the same mistakes as you.
To the memories
you can't remember
with the people
you won't forget
