Once I fell,
not because I slipped,
but because I hoped too high
for something that never looked back.
Once I crumbled,
not because of a storm,
but because my own heart
was tired of holding disappointment.
From falling, one can learn
that not everything we hold
will stay.
Some come only to teach us
how to let go unconsciously.
Now all know,
pain isn't always bad.
It sometimes comes
so we can learn to walk without leaning.
Because in the end,
the most loyal one to guide us home
is ourselves
after everyone leaves.
