Falling..

You probably can't really recall,
what happened those days when you were a tiny person,
But you know you learned, as most of us did,
to walk on those small baby feet.

I bet you fell several times,
some of us fell more than others,
before you learned to stand on your feet
to let go of that helping hand,
and to start making those steps on your own.

These were baby steps at first,
but as you grew your steps grew bigger.
As you grew you made those steps with more and more confidence and at a certain point you started running.

Now that you're bigger,
and your steps more confident,
you find yourself moving,
sometimes with your head in the clouds,
sometimes unaware of where you're going.
and what you will find when you get there.

We're all on our way to some place,

but sometimes our world gets turned upside down,

when we trip,

lose our balance and fall.

Sometimes falling seems to last forever,

until you hit the ground,

flat on our face.

hit your nose, bruise your knees and what not,

and you decide to just lay there,

with tears running across your cheeks,
your clothes covered in dirt.

                                                                      

At first I always got so mad, when I fell, at myself mostly,
because I could have paid more attention to where I was going and I should have been more aware of the danger that lay ahead.

So at first I just laid there and covered myself with self-pity
But one day I decided,
to get back up, every time I fall,
to dust my clothes of,
and to keep going,
even if it means limping.









It takes a while for the wounds to heal,
and the memory won't ever fade,
and you often find,
that a scar remains,
And everytime the scar catches your eye,
you might find that you unwillingly,
feel the anger,
the shame
and the pain,
all over again.



But as I grew and fell more and more often,
We all fall sometimes.
I learned that falling isn't so bad as it seems.
Yes, you do get hurt.
But pain isn't always so bad either,
feeling pain, like any other feeling
and scars are there to remind you,
that you're alive.

Even if it often feels like I'm moving in circles of madness, searching for a change,

I've decided to keep going,

on the rhythm of my heart

and to always follow my intuition

wherever it may lead me

to happiness or disappointment,

come what may.

 As I grew and made a big portion of mistakes,
(Every 'mistake' is a memory made, a great story and a valuable lesson).
I decided to keep moving, with my head high,
and a smile on my face.






I still fall,
we all do sometimes
and sometimes falling might feel,
like falling into an abyss of that what seems to be becoming of your heart.
A scary feeling, scary like hell.
but if you're going through hell, you should keep going.









We're all grown up now but we still fall sometimes, like we did when we were learning to walk,
some more than others
But what do you think you were told when you used to fall,
as the tiny person that you were,
even if you don't recall?

You were told to get back up and to try again.

So don't lose hope,

One day, sooner of later,

Someone will be there,

to catch you when you fall.

and then you'll be amazed;

Falling won't hurt at all.
