I’ve tumbled to the ground
and you flipped me over
for good measure.
You made me do
somersaults for you
thinking I would fall
head-over-heels in love.
But I fell face first
into the pavement
with a broken heart.
Like a jump rope,
I leaped over
all of these hurdles.
Somewhere along the way,
I tripped on the rope
and scrapped my knees
on the cracked road.
But I picked myself up
and continue jumping
and ignoring the scars.
