Fall and Rise

Author's Note:  I haven't written a poem in awhile, so I wanted to write one today, using a different technique.  When I was looking on other blogs, I saw this form of poetry a lot and I wanted to try it out.  I don't know if it makes sense to anyone else, but decided to experiment.  I focused on the format for this piece.  My inspiration was this song that I heard the other day about how life has ups and downs, but you have to pick yourself up and keep going.
