I step to quickly without reviewing my  intentions
Only to walk barefoot into the shredded glass of my mistakes
I'm bleeding regrets of poor decisions
I found someone worth fighting for
But I've placed myself against the ropes
Struggling to throw a punch
But I've tied my arms behind my back
I must break through these restraints 
Stop traveling in circles of my repetition 
Notate my mistakes, mend what I can
Study hard, and apply when tested
So I may tread softly
