My life feels like I always take two steps forward then four steps back
I graduate high school when I thought I wouldn’t, two steps forward
I live on my own, two steps forward
I get into college and attend for two years, two steps forward
I then drop out on a whim, four steps back
I take action to try to improve my mental health, two steps forward
I’ve been having mental health problems for nine years now and hasn’t been improving lately, four steps back
Multiple suicide attempts, four steps back
Quitting jobs left and right, four steps back
Relationships failing left and right, four steps back
Everyone leaving me left and right, four steps back
I wish my life wasn’t two steps forward four steps back anymore.
