when fallen
everyone tries
and everyone falls,
the difference is,
some people
have others
to help them
and some
simply don't.
that is the simplistic truth.
that is why some fall
and resurface just fine,
while others fall
and remain below status.
to rescue yourself is
but the greatest accomplishment.
