If I Fell

If I fell...
would you catch me?
or would you just walk away
frustrated, exasperated
that i couldn't keep my balance
again,
always.

If I fell...
would I catch myself?
or would I just close my eyes
and wait for the impact.
Did I even really fall?
or did I just finally LET GO.

If I fell...
would anyone care?
or would they just watch
as this strange bird gave in to gravity.
They'd shake their heads and say,
regrettably,
that it was bound to happen.

That poor bird never did know how to use her wings.
