Learning to fall

they say that life
is survival
of the fittest.
sometimes though
I wonder-
if this is true
then why am I still here?

every time i stumble
fall short of expectations
mine
my family's
society's
I wonder-
who has pushed ahead of me
in this cycle?
how many more notches
until i am extinguished
recieving no more
second chances?

so i try harder
pushing on
and still someone
breaks ahead
knocks me down
wins out over me
yet again

i am learning to fall
but i worry-
when will the day come
when i can no longer
stand back up?

Please tell me what you think

    If you don't fall, you'll never learn how to fly. Once again you have written a great poem, that once again I can relate to as well. You did an awesome job. Keep it up
