Work

you let yourself fall on rocks
even if yet-unknown hands
are not there
to catch you 

and when they do not

you honestly rise
and honestly fall again,
honestly expecting
to be caught 

and when you are not

you get up again
and do not lie about your fear
but fall again
this time expecting
to be caught

and when you are not
you do it again
and when you are not
you do it again
and when you are not

you get up again
and fall

eventually you break the rocks
