Running at Night

I am uncertain why,
I chose to run that night,
but there I was,
on a sidewalk with little light.

Running along, at a
measurable clip,
when I hit an obstacle,
which caused me to trip.

Tuck and Roll,
when you fall
to avoid hitting your head,
and that's not all.

Now I was,
down on the ground.
I stood up,
looking around

to see, if anyone,
had seen me fall.
I was all right, but
my Pride hurt; I recall.
