I'm falling down. I've been here before. Every time is easier, learning a little more. No need to talk about it now. I know I'll be okay. And I know in a matter of time I'll be back up and on my way. So just sit tight, take it all in, because soon we'll be laughing about where I've been. Rock bottom isn't so bad when you've been there alot, the sun will rise before these eyes I'll be fine, so worry not  |

I really like this. It tells of hard times, sad times and yet is a ray of hope and a good feeling at the same time. You did a fantastic job on this one. |

why are there always rocks on the bottom? perhaps to make the stop more abrupt? Gloom |

I think you should change the title on this to optimism from the bottom step. However whether you do or not is not important what is important is the optimism that radiates out from this poem. a good commitee can decimate communication. |

Personally I think the sunrises are more beautiful from the bottom. When we are at the top we forget the gift of hope they offer. Love ya, ~Me~ "I used to worry what people thought of me, then I broke through my cacoon" |

It's amazing how many times we can reach that rock bottom and still find a way to get back up. Enjoyed the inspiration in this Dixie. Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

you only can overcome hitting rock bottom with additudes like that. if everyone looked at their troubles like that the world would be a better place, well done |

It's so great to see you still around - even if I've been gone a long while! This was a great read. I've been through some trying times lately and this has given me a glimmer of hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Keep writing - you're one of my favorites! |

Dixie, when one reads a emotive poem of yours, it is as if you are speaking directly to the reader ~ sharing your most intimate thoughts and feelings. Your poetry is a curious combination of vulnerability ~ and strength. Rise and shine, Darlin'!  Linda |
