My World

I build my world around me, like a house to keep me safe and warm

But soon one part gives out, breaking more as it falls down

I try to catch each piece, replace it with something new

But I can’t keep up with all the falling, or soon I will too

Just as everything starts to feel hopeless, as the last piece falls out of place

A new foundation assembles, an opportunity to start again

Each time it is rebuilt it is stronger than before

Learning from past mistakes, preventing them from reoccurring

So now when one piece falls the rest stand fast and strong

I have time to catch each piece and fix them before others fall
