I was going to post this earlier, but didn't cause I thought it was too gloomy, but we've all been here, so here goes...


Did you ever think
that you had already been through
the worse life has to bring,
only to discover the worse may still await you.
Well, welcome to the bottom
The bottom is deeper than any chasm
darker than the blackest of any midnight
more destructive than Iraq's missing weapons
and deadlier than the black widow's bite.
You don't fall forever in the bottom,
as the word implies, you do hit.
It's in the look your children give you
when you keep wallowing in the same ****.
There's no light in the bottom.
You have to feel your way around.
Don't bother trying to call for help,
there isn't any sound.
The bottom starts with a lesion
then it slowly starts to bleed.
Soon the wound becomes infested
and the maggots begin to feed.
The poison spreads throughout the bottom
before the antidote can be taken
Death can't possibly come soon enough,
God why has my faith been shaken?
 
More destructive than Iraq's missing weapons

hats off!

Like the queen of Sheba
This flow is dark and lovely

I love the last line. If all our dark descents cause us to seek God we will never have to fear the bottom. It is a blessing in disguise.
 
very nice, yes i've been there and I believe its gonna get a lil better as i get older as soon as im 18, things will start lookin up for me
:lips:
