Bottom All I’ve Found

-Bottom All I’ve Found-
by Keaton Foster


Down
Below
Nothing
Dares go
Up high
Everything
Seemingly
Resides
Safe
Willingly
They escaped
For them
Living
Thus existing
Is a cautious affair
They won’t risk
What they have
Even if
In the end
What they have
Is far less
Then what’s below
Blind are such fools
Without reverence
Devoid of calculation
Blanks are their slates
Careless
Are such mistakes
They
Those so high above
Those unlike me
Do indeed scream
They shout rules
Condemn my ideas
Assure me of my sin
All the while committing
The most grievous
Acts of depravity
Against their kind
I ignore them
As they convict me
Saying that hell is home
For people like me
Those with no faith
And limited soul
I shout back
Silent are my words
I express
What is here
Darkness so clear
Bottom all I’ve found
There is no
Place to go
No ascension
Or deflection
No role to know
No faith to betray
No God to disown
Nothing answers
To no person or thing
Nothing is everything
While
Everything is nothing
I can stay here
And never face fear
I can remain
In this neutral state
This eternal abyss
Devoid of the risk
Of change
For all of my days
Bottom all I’ve found
I wasn’t looking
I was unsuspecting
But here I am
Where I must be
Where I belong
The right place
For who I am
And what I’ve become…
