Everyday

you wake up

swing your feet over your bed

onto the floor

but what happens

when the floor slips

from under your feet

and you fall

How do you get back up

when there’s nothing

to hold onto

or to help you find

a way back

from rock bottom

just when you thought

you finally had a grasp

on what life is

you realize

you have been fooled

the sadness has a hold on you

stopping you from reaching the top

to get knocked down

over and over

makes it easier to stay

in the sadness

it’s almost comfortable

too comfortable

to want to leave.
