Two Steps

cherm

One minute I'm sure

 the next I am not

My future seems clear

 and then it is shot

 

To hell in a second

 for my mind has changed

My feelings are hurt

 no way can I claim

 

That I know what I want

 uncertainty's set in

Why am I like this

 I can't even begin

 

To describe how this feels

 my life's in shambles

I have a good heart

 my head just rambles

 

On with logic for

 I see every side

Of life's perspectives

 this I cannot hide.

 

There's more than one right

 so how do I know

Which right to choose

 which way to go?

 

Sometimes I think

 the best I can do

Is to exit this life

 for a heavenly view. 

 

And then it hits me

 like it does every time

That this step backwards

 will turn on a dime.

 

Two steps forward

 will soon follow

This world offers too much

 to sit and wallow. 

 

So instead I get up

 and walk outside

To soak up the sunshine

 while refusing to backslide.
