Damn! I Fell.... Charity B Baez
Engulfed with fear,
I look around in the darkness
And I see familiar shadows and clouds.
Consumed in doubt
I sit and shake my head in confusion.
I can’t believe I tripped,
I can’t believe I fell,
I knew better.
I’ve been down this road before.
A couple of years back,
I ran down this same road,
Tripped and fell around this same point,
And limped away with scars to last a life time.
One would think I would have learned my lesson.
One would think that I would have avoided this road at all cost.
But off I went,
Skipping down the same road that caused so much heartache and pain.
Thinking that this time would be different.
Ha! Ha! Jokes on me!
Right back where I was before,
Knowing the outcome before it happens.
As I struggle to get up I begin to wonder whether the scars and bruises would be worse than before.
Or would I be able to dust off the lingering emotions and move on with my life?
Now here’s the hard part,
Do I mention that I fell?
Did at some point you fall too?
Or would that be too much to ask?
Do I even dare to ask?
Nah, you too cool for that.
You can walk the walk.
You might trip and get caught up for a bit,
But you smooth.
You won’t allow yourself to fall.
I sit back down.
Because sometimes,
Falling can be wonderful.
It’s the aftermath that’s scary.
Rather than think about that
I relish the pleasure and ecstasy that can be derived from falling.
I refuse to think about getting up
Soon enough I will have to.
It’s a must.
You have indirectly reminded me on many of occasions,
That soon our run will be over.
Until then,
I will be content in knowing that I fell,
And hoping that eventually you’ll turn around and notice me,
On the floor.
If not….
It’s ok….
I’m a strong woman,
And I can pick myself up.
One day,
Maybe I’ll fall at the right time……
With the right person.
Until then….
I will embrace my accidental tumbles,
And whether I tumble alone,
Or with someone special,
I will savor them for all that they are worth.
