Sidewalks

I remember that feeling

That warm summer night

When I saw my name in lights

And I realized

What I was born to do

I now chase that feeling 

Like an addict and alcohol 
It fuels me 
To keep spinning
Words

And stories

I run after it

Tripping and stumbling

Sometimes falling flat on my face

And staying there for a while

But somehow always managing to get back up

We all take this journey

Some get too scraped up

And stay down

But not me

I've stained enough sidewalks red to know

That you always

Feel better

Once you've gotten up

Author's Note

Im back whether you're reading or not

oh this is a heart enriching melody of trails of light ~ once you've found the threads with which to weave your life no scissors are sharp enough to cut them no matter what~ perseverance and faith in one self come through beautifully in this gloriously inspirational poem~

Once you fall down, there's nowhere to go but up. Unless you want to stay down for the rest of your life.

Your words are filled with an emotional courage that simply sings through each line. I'm glad you're back.. glad you don't stay down for long, but fight fierce to live and share that life with us.
