I pushed away at the pedals that lay underneath my feet,
Rotating round and round in a never ending circle.
I rid there all alone on the side of the extensive road,
Watching cars pass by me of every shape and color.
Pushing and pushing
Moving farther and farther away from my house.

I felt a sudden twinge in my legs as I moved uphill,
Making me ignore the fact that there was a slight chill.
Then I turned on the street of my dearest friend,
Being so glad we’d finally be together again.

So far my day had been great,
The accident that soon was to happen could have not been fate.
Striding down the street being so close yet so far,
Only two more turns and no signs of cars.

Turning the first corner without any problems at all,
Not realizing how easily I could fall.
Riding a bike seemed easy to me,
But after this day I could finally see.

The second corner came into view,
I texted my friend and told her I’d be there in a few.
I arrived at the corner and it looked very acute,
So I turned my handlebars so absolute.

I felt the bike seat slip under me,
Worrying I’d fly off and possibly hit a tree.
There went my wheel, my pedal, my brakes,
All of a sudden my whole body started to ache.

It happened so fast,
I had no clue exactly what happened last.
All I know as I lie on the ground,
Was it would have been much easier to just go around.
My bike lay on top of me in all different fragments,
I knew no one could fix this.

I got up off the ground being in so much pain,
Knowing my bike would never be together again.
I picked up my bike piece by piece,
And I knew it’d take me 5 minutes at least.
I would have to walk to my friends house now,
But I didn’t know how?

My arm was scraped and cut up and down,
My leg, my hip, I could not help but frown.
I limped to my friends house inch by inch,
Trying so hard not to squinch.

Luckily my friend bandaged me all up,
But I knew when I got home my mom would blow up.
I arrived back home hours later,
Hoping I would get a new bike that was so much greater.

A new bike was not in my future I see,
Turns out my day was just crappy.
I learned my lesson once and for all,
Even doing something you think is extraordinarily easy, you could still fall.
