Fall

I can last a lifetime

or be done with in a day

I can be picked up

I can be thrown away

hope that I can bounce back after each and every fall

I'm supposed to bounce back

I am a rubber ball

hope that I can bounce back after each and every fall

but it's easier to fall

I'm supposed to bounce back

I can't hit you hard enough to make you feel you're not alone

I can't touch you soft enough to make you feel you're flesh and bone

but I'll keep trying even though I'm not getting through

I'll keep trying

trying to get to you
