The stage you stand collapses,
together with all you earned.
Your faith rethinks or stammers,
with a struggle to balance the fall.

Helping hands reach out,
with a laugh and tease.
Things you lose are a fact,
what you gain is a miserable feel.

Fear has not left you,
before you have only tried to crawl.
If you think you are being careful,
just another laugh is enough to make you fall.
