How could I be so dumb
Never listened to anyone
Not a drop of knowledge
From my rag was wrung
One mistake becomes two
My screen being fuzzy
Set my path askew
I couldn’t see
That I was surrounded
By so many clues
Forever bouncing
From wall to wall
Spectators stand and clap
Watching me as I fall
A hand reaches out
I try to grasp
But it pulls back
Withdrawing into the darkness
Much too fast
Oh God where is my
In case of emergency
Break this glass
Very creative.

A masterful poem -you are so in control. The lines run so smoothly and I just love the theme /concept and the end is super.
Thank you. That is very nice of you to say. I appreciate it.
You do pathos very well. At times all of us have asked this question. Nice flow and rhythm.
