Up and Down a Ladder

by Danielle   Feb 18, 2020


It's at a fault
Broken
Dreams crushed, for a moment
Causing a separation
Bigger than I feared
Divided
Like tiny little bones inside a fractured foot
It leaves me hopping
Stumbling
To a future unclear
What can come from this chaotic event?
For it has dimmed my shine
Perhaps rewind?
Bring back the smile I knew once upon a time?
But the mind,
It lies
Tricking me into nostalgic pride
This life
It weaves from bright to shadow
Past to present
Making my way up and down a ladder
And one day a rung has snapped
Backtracked
So far from what has been accomplished
Arms stretched out
Reaching
Only to miss and fall a little further
Try again
Even when defeat takes over
