Rock Bottom
Some say that when you hit rock bottom you are stuck,
That there is and will never be a way out,
However, this is made false by the following notion:
Once you have hit your own personal Rock Bottom,
And the floor is cold, damp, and lonely,
The world becomes easier,
Simply because now you are left with only two choices instead of the thousand you would have had to face if you had not fallen,
Your two choices remain: Stay at the bottom,
Or climb up,
Sure you will slip and slide down a few feet on this journey to the peak of your mountain,
But in the end, when you can finally say you have made it,
It will be more than worth the struggle and the pain,
Because the Rock Bottom you had once known,
Is now long behind you,
Never forgotten and ever-remaining in your memory shaping who you are today.
