I tripped & fell
I shouldn't have fallen you see
I should've decided
I fell and stayed down
usually I wouldn't you see
'stead I'd have gotten up
and dusted off
but down I stayed
then one day I got up
my heart still aches you see
but my been up gives me strength
strength to not look below but beyond
strength to look ahead
not behind
strength to desire
to remain standing
until if ever again I can make a decision
'stead of taking a hard fall

I also like!! The sentiments therein are universal; everyone just about can relate:)
falling.....falling.....i expect it to thud........
then i fall....i land on certain softness...it feels like a sponge....but then it feels damp...then i realise there is a stench all around me.......ahh...my master just allowed to fall on shit..so that i don't remain there, but so that i rise again...i will arise..i will...
good poem, experience is not the best teacher if we do not learn from it! The rise after the fall... hope you did
