The fall

I jumped!!
Head first this time but my heart followed.

I fell really hard and broke a few bones.
I didn’t see from the top, the pointy rocks at the bottom.

When the dust settled,
I finally felt the pain.
Stuck in a rot for days and my arms banded with a cane.
I cursed and I swore, “Never again”
While I drowned in painkillers, both night and day.

Time, wine and friends helped patch me up.
Now I could laugh and smile as I told tales of the fall.

A few weeks have passed and my scars are still healing.
My lessons learnt,
But completely certain I would do it again ❤️.
