I Can Slip

This poem is about picking yourself up after you fall.

I can slip,
Because I'm not afraid to fall.
I don't need someone there to pick me up,
For I'm fine on my own.

I can slip,
Because no one knows it when I do.
I can slip,
Because it's natural for me to.
Though it's embarrassing,
And my pride is hurt,
I'm able to pick myself up,
Which many people are afraid to do.

I can slip,
Because I am brave.
I am not afraid to meet questioning eyes.
And though I can't answer all the questions you ask,
For I don't know the answer,
I can stand with my head high.

I can slip,
Because I can slip,
And not fall down.
