in all aspects
areas and all avenues of life
i most well know the bottom
the dregs, societal strife
so i'm not
surprised when i again see
myself always on the bottom
of anything i can be
i'm living
off algae, parasites and scum
with the aristocracy above me
at whom i bite my thumb
you shall know
i do not loathe my position
the bottom: more noble, certainly free
so i welcome no transition

roxan,
hey this is a tight poem. as you know i know what it's like to be on the bottom but sometimes force myself to put forth this fack euphoria just to get throught the day because i have to be happy at least for my son. i can't let him see his mom down and not happy and i know he's just a year but i'm certin he can since it. so i fell this poem, thakx for sharing with us. anyway i left you a reply over in "what the hell is wrong with me?"
