A Poem about hitting rock bottom in life and reali A Poem about hitting rock bottom in life and realising that the only way is up again.

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.

On With The Show - A poem about a performer who is On With The Show - A poem about a performer who is hurting inside yet goes on stage to entertain the crowd. Once the crowd is gone the performer returns unchanged.

I look into the mirror,

A reflection stares back at me.

I don't like what I see there,

Applying makeup for everyone to see.

The weight of life upon me,

All I see is the clown.

My eyes are drawn and heavy,

Red lips become a frown.

I hear the crowd is waiting,

So I shift in my chair.

I walk toward the curtains

An audience so unaware.

I step into the bright lights,

A ripple of applause.

I raise my hands to thank you,

Yet you don't know my inner war.

My set is automatic,

The laughter fills the air.

I'm the hero of the hour,

Yet inside, I just don't care.

The crowd leaves the building,

I return to the mirror once more.

Once again, I look inside,

With my heart upon the floor.
