Did everything I could to get to this next step.
Broke rules to get to the next step
Broke hearts because of the next step
Dissed a lot people who didn’t respect the next step
Left a lot behind to focus on this next step
And now I’m here—On the brink of the next step
And I am terrified
because the next step requires many harder steps
And at the end of that next step
Is the step to the next step with all its steps
But if I don’t take the next step
Then that’s a waste of all the steps I’ve already taken
And that would be a step in the wrong direction
So maybe I won’t step –
I’ll
Just
Dive
In
With
My
Eyes
Closed
