After you concentrate on securing your balance

you spend the rest of your time trying to convince yourself that your foot doesn’t hurt as much as you think it does ….. actually it’s much more

a few minutes in and you could admit defeat and clean up the blood and go on putting your life back together

but not you ….   Old tough you…. I mean you have your soiled reputation to keep muddy

So rather than admit defeat you will die proving to the world  ….. you actually were a coward..   because you were scared to face reality

so go on balancing on that toothpick…… it would be too hard for you to give up
