Rock Bottom


Rock Bottom is a hell of a place 

From there one can fall no further

 

Not meant to be a resting place

Not for me; but for another

 

Could be a card up the sleeve, the ace

That turns struggle to no bother

 

No more worry about the rat race 

Securely in the muck, forever

I’m a lifelong martial artist. I’ve written since I was young for myself as a form of self examination and therapy. Growing up closeted during the AIDS crisis and in small town Kentucky, I didn’t feel I had many options for outward expression. Life is different today, and I express what I feel here.
