Rock Bottom Poem by amar qamar

Rock Bottom



When rock bottom I did finally hit
Low as any could go, the deepest pit
I happened across a wise man
Or he may have just been a mad
"Heed my words carefully,
For they will certainly change thee"
Grinning from ear to ear, he said to me.

"Only one now, where there where two
Suffering and sorrow inside of you
I see that you are worried and fearful
Death of a loved one, departure so tearful
Do not be scared of what is to come
Or to a slippery slope you will succumb"

"You are your own worst enemy
You know acceptance is the key
You feel orphaned and alone
Frightened of the future unknown
Do not fear, for fear is the enemy of will
Do not let it settle in your heart
For fear to go on living, it will instill"

"Drowning in what has been
Agonizing about the unseen
You will squander your life away.
The past is a story already told
The future a story yet to unfold
Do not worry about tomorrow
For the present is the show"

I carefully considered his ravings
Before lifting myself from the ground
Gathered my courage, then homeward bound
