A step taken. That first step - Long and dreaded. Trying so hard not to push yourself in, As you watch yourself from the sidelines- Who have you become? You see all that you could be- And know all that you couldn't. Watching and anticipating... What will you do? All that you have lost- All for nothing. All that you had feared- you have become. Patience: Good for the moment- Then you realise doing nothing won't get it done. Stepping into everything you never wanted, You ran into all that broke you. Now you watch yourself falling deeper- And refuse to swim. All that life proposes, A single flower in a vase of dead roses- Saints and Sins and all sorts of things, We love and then we regret... Watching ourselves turn to- all that we're used to... Slowly- taking that first step.
