One Step Forward
One Step Back
A step to the side
A step on a crack

Who decides which way it goes
The way you think
The river flows

The path you take
It’s never clear
It’s pieces are there
And then disappear

You can scream out the window
You can scream at the wall
You can cry to your pillow
Or do nothing at all

Once it is done
There is no going back
A moment of glory
Or it all fades to black

Will the flame then go out?
Or will the fire blaze too bright?
Will there be a tomorrow, 
Just because there was tonight?

Is there ever a step that is right?
Or always one that is wrong?

Who knew 
Each decision
Would take
So long
