The other day when I fell
Everyone saw.
They had pity
And my shame burned me.
Collecting charred pieces of my self
I crawled past.
Like always
I had no time to reflect till later.
That one mis-step
Had changed so much.
It had weakened my gait
Altered my course
Muffled my laughter
And jolted my faith.
And lest I forget
The scars are there to remind.
