life.

You are my weakness,
one nudge and I fall.
I go tumbling
to the hard ground.
I can never seem to recover.
at least not fully.
because every time I fall
it is harder to get back up.
My feet have become so weak
I can't concentrate on anything
other than that one nudge.
the one that brought me down
maybe I will get back up.
maybe it just takes time.
But I can't afford to fall,
no not anymore.
Not now.
Not ever.
I need to get stronger
I need to get away from you.
So you can't push me back down,
right when I just got up.
