Watch out for your life
One mistake can take it away
One step backwards
Can lead to shame

Watch out for your death
One step foreword
Can surely end your life
That risk is worth the taking
Nothing is worth the staying
The present offers nothing

A step at a time
Into the unknown
Is better than running to the past
Running away is death
To your present self

Stepping foreword is a chance
A risk, to be something more
To end the past's hold on you
That step is the most important

Face the future with a stand
Walk away from everything
To stand for nothing, Or else
You'll be stepping backwards
You'll walk back to everything
You'll live the life of shame

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
