A step back

Written after losing a friend.

Life is always moving and sometimes we make the wrong decisions under pressure
Life is always a struggle between what’s best for me, and what I think it’s supposed to be
Sometimes this world is spinning just like the thoughts inside of my head
Sometimes this world seems to tell me that I don’t have what it takes to survive

A step back to pause and take a breath
A step back to evaluate my decisions that have an impact upon my future
A step back to look ahead and get excited for the things that lie ahead
A step back to realize that I am making my Father proud

A step back to try to listen
A step back to try to understand
A step back to try to take two steps forward
A step back to give this another try

A step forward is what I was wanting
A step forward is what I thought I needed
A step back isn’t always the end
A step back is sometimes needed to gain perspective
