Falling

People stumble and fall
When they fall,
they fall hard.
They bleed
They feel the pain
Their wound hurts
But soon it dries up.
Building a hard layer of defence around it.

Am I not 'people' ?
Am I better ?
Or am I worse ?

I stumble though I don't fall
But still I bleed
And still I feel the pain
Different, probably
Different, indeed.
The wounds never dry up
No layer of defence protecting me
Just a bigger wound
every stumbling.

But never falling.



Because sometimes it feels better to fall.
Another late night inspiration :)
