I feel...

At the bottom of the lowest stoop,
I feel like the turds in an unkempt coop,
I feel I'm the dirt under soggy dog poop,
I feel lower than the foulest stool,
I feel like I'm the biggest fool,
For real I feel I've had enough,
Feeling like I feel too much...

Yeah been there my brother. It is in moments like these we must focus intently to see the light. Keep that chin up man.

yeah, mad.. 'Feeling like I feel too much'
sensitives and poets often express this, in one way or another

we can live intense inner lives and yet, we feel!
and that is good, even amidst the doo doo!

ty for telling us how you feel. i hope our
presence helps you, if even a little

The good thing is you realize you hit rock bottom...it's when we are in denial that we get stuck in the bottom. Being aware where we are means we know there's only one way to take... The way up! The black cloud will pass MadT...

Sometimes the feeling is so hard you have to switch off till the moment passes, Things will get better and the sun will shine again, hang in there mad

Great poem bro,

I've been there and i never thought those feelings and pain would pass.
But in time it did pass.
One day at a time and you will put it in the past.
Hang tough bud.

Wow Tony, this is as low as it can get. My first time to see you this destitute? For lack of a better word. But my dearest it will get better. I promise.
