Face My Back Poem by James Bost

take steps forward
dont jump back
my conscious might panic
too smooth too quick
to slip fall and break a wrist
on my way to a big dream
controlling issues that came along
been told i wont make it
i guess they hating
try to carry the team on my back
now that show no love
teach them a message in life
they refuse to learn
now they regret me
cause they had a chance
now they look away from the mirror
cause they scared to face their selves
