You know you have hit bottom when
Falling through the universe
All the way down where you begin
Again you look up and then
It finally stops getting worse
Great the fall but that was all
For now at least to your surprise
Your half-full or empty cup
Looks fuller now when you look up
With only now in your eyes
The heaviness of then behind
Buoyed by curiosity
You rise again who seek to find
What remembered in the fall
Spring once was blind to now you see
Opened eyes now realize
That half-full cup will have to do
That looked half-empty to you
Who bounce to rise no matter what
Falling all the way down but
You bounce and when you rise again
Grateful for your half-full cup
You know you have hit bottom then
When the only way is up
And the only way out is in
You know you have hit bottom when
You bounce and then you rise again
