THE TOP OF THE BOTTOM or (bottoms up)

Some say I am "down" at the bottom I say that it still could be worse Some good things I say, yes I've got em What is bad is my bare empty purse Yes, it's lonely "up" here at the bottom And it's scary "down" here from the top But my troubles, I always have fought em So I'll fight back and I'll never stop To give up is like death I'm avoiding that trap Sure, I'm losing my breath But I'm the "cream of the crap" So from "up" here at the bottom I'm re-beginning, I'm starting my climb Grit and courage, I surely have got em Take a step, for right now is the time I've been "down" at the top And I've seen my demise Still my spirit won't stop And I'll again start my rise Looking "down" from "up"  here at the bottom It's so black and as cold as the snow Looking "up" from "down" here at the bottom Lets me know just the way I must go Yes, it's lonely "down" here at the bottom But "up" here, it is where I have found Many blessings, I now know I've got em Wait! My feet may have just left the ground

Additional Notes:
I write 3 categories of poetry: 1. "mankind" poems, with a purpose to be of help to all. 2. "just for fun", when the mood strikes. 3. "personal conversations", with the purpose of solving a problem of my own. An attempt to build my spirits. I present a # 3, the my most prevalent type of poem, that I write.
