Have you ever fallen?
Down that endless hole
Of impenetrable darkness?
I have
At the beginning
I felt that it was nothing to me
A small inconvenience to me
Something I could jump over
Like a rock in a still river
So I stand there
Ready to jump
When it starts to rain
Hard
All of a sudden
That small rock is wet
So slippery I would surely slide
Slip and slide on that very inconveniently small rock
And fall
In that dark, dark river
So I sat and waited
For the storm to pass
And it does
I stand yet again,
But something is wrong
Why
That small, inconvenient rock
Is still inconvenient
But no longer small
It has grown to such a size
As I realize
That I could never jump over that rock
I missed my chance
To prance
I have lost my will
No
I will try,
I would rather try than regret
So I leap, and how glorious it was
But no
This story does not end well
Because I do not land on that inconveniently big rock
I fall in that dark, dark river
And here I am to tell you
To jump when you can
Before it is too great for you to handle alone.
