Crawling
Like a child who can’t walk
That needs a guide to see the light.
Walking
Like a proud champion across the stage
Feeling like no one can touch them.
Falling
Like the great Mayan culture,
Needing picked back up.
Slipping
The time when you take your last breath
And you can’t be helped and you can’t be stopped.
