Rockbottom Poem by T Michael Farrell

Get comfortable my friend
Find yourself a place to sit
You worked hard to get here
Never mind that you don't realize it
Have a Shot, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em
You may have arrived at RockBottom

You're losing your life with whom you've sparred
Oh, Rockbottom is really hard


What took years to build, to nurture, to trust
you destroyed it in mere minutes
made it go bust
Bad was your vision, your glasses, maybe you fogged ‘em
Well look around, you're now at RockBottom


You're losing your life with whom you've sparred
Oh, Rockbottom is really hard

How do you know if you're really there?
Look around if you dare
When you find no help with pills, weed or booze
And you discover you have nothing left to lose


You're losing your life with whom you've sparred
Oh, Rockbottom is really hard

There are a couple of things you can do
To get your life moving out of idle
Take the 1st of 12 steps
And dont forget to read your bible
And when your tired of living a life so rotten
Congratulations, you're starting to climb out of RockBottom
