Embarassed!

Too late
it happened
you couldn't stop it
break out your
coiled smile
tight
to hide the injury
you fake it
the pain behind your face
clear
to ones who
saw
the seconds before
...you know
...when you fell...
over
you breath in slow
let out; exhale
before you regain
your tiny confidence
gone as soon as you
trip
flat on your now
red face
but you'll get over it
you always do
