Falling so far down
Into the darkness of despair,
To a place of isolation,
In a world that does not care.
Feeling all around me,
I try to hold on to a rope.
Just a feeling I can stand up,
A simple ray of hope.
My eyes squint into the darkness,
Making out a shape.
Perhaps a slab of granite,
Or a hero in a cape?
Looking up into the darkness,
I see a place to climb,
A distant light that beckons.
Now, this is my time.
For when you hit rock bottom,
Upwards is the only place to go.
Stand up and dust yourself off now,
It’s onwards with the show.
