Up the down escalator

Up the down escalator.
 
My favorite thing at the mall.
 
Up the down escalator.
 
I tell myself I won't fall.
 
Getting up the down is unforgiving.
 
Going up, but coming down is part of living.
 
Once more I tell myself to get a grip.
 
Never do I go down the up escalator.
 
Nonsense I would trip.  
 
I only struggle up then come back to the floor.
 
Up the down escalator.
 
I've been here before .
