Step Forward and Stumble (National Poetry Writing Month 2026 #30)   Leave a comment

I step forward and stumble 
I fall on my face
I can't remember the last time
It's been constant trips and falls
Broken plates and broken dreams
Spending more time flat than upright
But I know this isn't the last time
Because I will always
Pick myself up off the ground
And step forward once again
