Slipping?

slipping falling tumbling.

whatever you call it you're on the ground.

rocks and dirt.

you laugh it off. say what a klutz you are.

when no one really knows that it's hard to get up.

the fact that it's hard to do anything.

you've been broken before.

you're scared that it could get like that again.

once something has been broken it's easier to break again.

no matter how much glue you paste over the pieces some pieces will never fit the same again.

nothing will be as it was.

with one leg out taking the next step you could trip and fall.

but no one would think that it could be as bad as it was before.

you've been "fixed".

maybe made even prettier.

but it only takes one weak spot.
