Falling Up instead of Down

I have a tendency to fall

but my injury is quite small.

My broken bones are very rare.

I seem to bruise everywhere.

My skin may turn black and blue.

and sometimes it is bloody too.

The pills i tale make me dizzy.

Getting up can keep me busy.

Falling down is a big surprise

and old age doesn’t make us wise.

Falling up is likely to be

a shortfall to eternity.

Some youngsters may call me “pop”

which doesn’t make the falling stop.
