A Word on Hitting Bottom
Master Kew Started conversation May 1, 2002
Welcome to depression
one of the ledges you stop at,
on your way to hitting bottom.
Welcome to apathy
a cruel sign of depression,
making suicide seem a waste of time.
Welcome to false joy
a sign that the edge is neer,
one more step and you drop like a rock.
Welcome to emptiness
a continuation of the fall down,
devoid of even apathy for emotion.
Welcome to realization
a sudden knowing that you want this,
the fight down was a choice you made.
Welcome to step one
a surrender of possessions and self,
inexperienced instinct takes the helm.
Welcome to step two
an unfinished phrase becomes your mantra,
'this is my life and it's ending...'
Welcome to step three
a second voice joins your mantra,
'...one minute at a time', finishing your line.
Welcome to the bottom
a beginning awaits you at the top,
and all you have to do is survive the climb.
