Realization

Tumbling, Falling

down a flight of stairs,

you can't stop yourself.

And when you do, you get pushed again

You hit every step

thump

thump

thump

Once you reach the bottom 

Your picked up and thrown

back down the stairs, 
just like a tennis ball.

and when your all crippled and broken

your just left there 

alone and forgotten

No one to help you

That's when you realize

you're a slinky
