Rock Bottom

By OptimisticPessimist

Sinking. Drowning.
I'm slowly going under.
I hit points of pure white.
Then drop.
Mentally pulled
By gravity
Down to darkness... 

I didn't know
Hell had a
Basement. 

I didn't think
Rock bottom had a
Rock bottom of quick sand. 

I'm going under and pulling,
Drowning,
You with me... 

I can't keep destroying
Everything I
Love
Because there isn't a lot
That I love. 

I can't drag
Myself,
You,
Down anymore. 
Down here, screaming isn't
Heard,
Nor cared about. 

Sinking,
Drowning,
How much more down
Can 



Go...

Author's Note:

Down I go...In algebra 2 class.... Bad thoughts always come up in this class. Is it the boringness(dictionary check?) Or because I'm depressed at 11:02 AM..?

    We always sink until we reach the dismall hell that we are the makers of. Trust me when I say I know this all too well and I'm glad that I could read this piece. It brought back much that I had forgotten...

    Pretty severe for algebra, my friend! I like the structure most of all, there was a mishap with "nor" in one stanza but other than that I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for posting.

    Algebra sucks in high school! I had to take a college elective to learn it when I was more receptive. Penultimate stanza had a typo with N from Nor standing alone I think? Don't sell yourself short, good one, thanks
