Hitting the Rock Bottom!!

Often there comes a phase in everyone's life when things flip out the way you had never thought of. Events change dramatically with you having no control of them. The events that partake can be in terms of relationships, money, career, domestic problems and many more. Initially, you despise the happenings around you and start playing the blame game. In relationships, you crib about the person who could not understand you. In money matters, you despise the system, the global turmoil that does not turn in favor of you. In terms of career, you contempt the enterprises who are not extracting your potential and the cycle goes on. As a human, you do not settle on anything but, criticizing. You do not take the ownership and analyze the circumstances that lead to such consequences. Until you hit the rock bottom. The point where you are at the lowest of your times. Only after then, you gain newer perspectives. You define yourself and try to work on fixing the problems.

I have tried to capture the essence of above in following piece of poetry.

Hitting the Rock Bottom!!

A bright sunny day, wind in her hair, smile on her face,

To reach out new avenues, and grab the current pace!

Sailing was she in the waters azure,

With plethora of ambitions to endure!

Albeit vision less, she thought of making a move, 

Without knowing the deep water truths!

Boy - O - Boy! She kept sailing away from the beach, 

Humongous water and harsh rocks was the only thing she could now reach!

And then the wind changed its directions,

She got blinded by the rough sea motions, 

Alas, her boat capsized along with her pumped up emotions!

She confronted a situation solemn, 

When she hit the rock bottom!

She could not seep in this trauma, 

Until she hit the rock bottom!

Only then she realized ways to fight back and sustain, 

Which over the years, she had refrained!

With same vigor she is holding the breath, 

In a hope she will soon cling on to the edge!

And this time, 

A bright sunny day, wind in her hair, smile on her face,

She envisions the horizon and advances in her own pace!

I think, unless you reach into the abyss of depression, you never imbibe different perspectives and think optimistically. As only then you realize, that the only way to overcome this fathom is the way UP!  Thus, hit that rock bottom boldly! :)


Of course, this is just my point of view. I look forward to hear your experiences and take on this. :)
