one step
another step
struggling silently along
but they stand and watch you,
watch you like vultures
waiting for one wrong step
waiting
w a i t i n g . . .
wrong step
and they pounce
devouring your pride
tearing to shreds your dignity
thinking somehow it nourishes them to see you fall to pieces
thinking
thinking?
perhaps if they looked deeper
they'd see the pain
swept across your brow
perhaps if they did not focus so much on themselves
they'd be aware that we all fall...
perhaps...
WE ALL FALL!
one step
you get up
and shake those vultures off
they are taken aback
you are stronger than before
another step
keep pressing forward
next thing you know
you are running along
looking back you see...
nothing.
the vultures are gone
they have disappeared into the distance
they are gone.
gone...
