Array ( [sid] => 104868 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Today i fell [time] => 2005-09-01 20:06:18 [hometext] => just a quick write. i walked into a croud today and i seen the same things over and over. a repeat of my life. [bodytext] => Today I fell
The gravel worked its way under my skin
New black marbles under my flesh
Leaving bloody handprints on the ground
Heaving myself up

And I walked on

I fell again the next day
The cement pushed past my finger tips
And ripped away my fingerprints
A reminder for next time
Lifting myself up

And I walked on

Funny how we never learn after the first fall
We make the same mistakes
Day in and day out
In circles we tread
Working our way underground

And I walked on

Today I fell
The gravel worked its way under my skin
New black marbles under my flesh
Leaving bloody handprints on the ground
Heaving myself up

And I walked on

I fell again the next day
The cement pushed past my finger tips
And ripped away my fingerprints
A reminder for next time
Lifting myself up

And I walked on

Funny how we never learn after the first fall
We make the same mistakes
Day in and day out
In circles we tread
Working our way underground

And I walked on

appealing thoughts dear poet.....I sometimes feel the same way as you....repetition is all there is in this life.....

you conveyed your thoughts very well...and I loved the way you used imagery to describe your 'falling' in the walk of life......great to read.

May you continue to rise up!
