With One Step Forward, It's Two Steps Back Poem by Dakota Ellerton

With One Step Forward, It's Two Steps Back



Sometimes I think,
I'd be better off in solitude.
My emotions lead me into trouble,
and my mouth speaks so unsurley.
I always let my temper get the best of me,
and say the thing's I never really wanted.
I'd push you away in a heartbeat,
If not for my common sense.
Regretabley it takes quite the toll,
physically.
I don't think my hands have ached so much,
then the way they do now.
I'm not ready to admit,
that I'm dynamite.
That my temper is starting to overwhelm me,
never would I lay a hand on someone senslessly,
but I'd surley smack a fool man in the mouth.
I've fallen into the hardest of times,
preparing for the worst.
Really, I'm not sure what I see anymore.
My stomach is turning,
and my hearts fallen to my feet.
Was is it something I said,
or just who I am?
You and I left things in such peices,
that I'm so unsure of everything.
I've tried and tried,
but you're cutting the pieces,
so they just won't fit.
What are you so afraid of?
You're far from sheltered,
you know how the world works,
so why make it that much harder.
Step back and ask yourself,
what do I need?
Time is always against us
