Fall From Grace

This is a poem I wrote on January 28, 2008. It's a poem about someone who has been "on top of the world," but now they feel they're at rock bottom.


Back when you were very young
It seemed like anything was possible
Then, one day, it happened
You achieved great heights at such a young age


It happened really fast
Everything came so easily for you
You thought that it would last
And it seemed that the world was your oyster


Over the next ten years
You watched as your world slowly fell apart
Seems you've hit rock bottom
And the world gets to watch your fall from grace


Some out here root for you
They hope you can turn your life back around
And they hope that one day
You'll be back on top of the world again
