Daily Prompt: Sidewalk

Sidewalk you are something everyone walks on everyday of their life

something we don’t really seem to worry about.

Until we trip and fall because you have become uneven over time

or we just aren’t watching where we are going.

For we just expect you to be perfect and leveled out as we walk on you

going for a walk by ourselves or taking the dog out.

When we fall on you we don’t wonder how you feel, we just get mad at you

and look at how you hurt us with your sharp pieces or edges.

We pick ourselves up and slowly walk away, leaving you with our blood stains of

the evidence of our fall.

We don’t try to clean you up before we go or look back to see what just happened, no

we keep on walking leaving you behind like the memory of what just happened and we

move on with our lives.
