Untitled - September 09, 2002

when you fall to the bottom,
all you can do,
is look up.

to find something from
the depths
of despair,
to find yourself
once more.

hidden beneath
the surface,
beneath the fears
beneath the life,
is the self-knowledge
that masquerades
as self-hatred.

when you fall,
at the end you land,
be it on hard gravel
or soft sand.

when you fall,
reach out,
to find the reason
to climb.

every slow step
becomes a reason
to return
to hope once more.
