Despair

Being in the pit of despair

Rock bottom is not the end

Rising to the top

Trying to better oneself

Hitting a wall, falling back

Being near the end once again

Not acting conventional

Trying to get some serious help

Helpless, lost, broken

Countdown to the end

Being picked up, barely saved

Getting better with support

Fixing the cracks, putting me back together

Trying to maintain a sense of normalcy

Not falling backward into the pit

Bettering thy self

Trying to live the life, I should lead

sad poetry
