"Rock bottom"

I don't understand my life

According to the quote "rock bottom"

I've hit it

But I don't feel the bottom under my feet

I'm still falling

And I grasp for any ledge I can as I fall

But they crumble as soon as my feet touch

Or I kick my feet from underneath me because I'm only comfortable during chaos

As if the excitement of falling is what I seek

It doesn't make any sense to me

And no matter how hard I try to stand, my legs wobble and I slip

I'm not satisfied with my life

But, I don't know how to change

So I guess I'll just keep falling

And falling

Wondering what lies beneath
