Rock Bottom

/ Kait King

I hit rock bottom
I sat on that bottom rock
weeds and roots
tethered me close
and not in a Lovers’ Lock
Catatonic in my despair
broken like a car crash victim
I clutched at straws
and sucked in air
feeling like I needed
Lithium
Overwhelmed by what
I’m not
broken by what I was
fighting what it has to be
a fallen star, a lost cause,
tell it as it is
that old me
will never leave
it’s a part of what makes me
my body may have
let me down
but when I write ,

I’m free

  8. Ironically, I just started taking lithium and find myself worried if it was the right choice. I know, though, I have to stay the course. I have hope, though, that my dosage can stay low. My fear is losing the things that make me me, but I suppose I need to trust in the path I’ve set on.

    • You do need to trust your decision, absolutely -or else don’t make one. But I think more than anything you need to trust your gut instinct. You do ultimately control what happens to you, you do get to choose and you have the power to change your decision too. Nothing is carved in stone and just s change in mindset can change your world. You know that, you’re living the metamorphosis!! Celebrate you, you know what you’re doing ☺ Sending you clarity, love and peace! 💟
