Step forward in the right direction

I take one step forward and 3 steps back,

My mind is crazy, my bags almost packed,

Searching for a new beginning, maybe a new life,

Done with the bullshit, drama, and strife,

 

I take one step forward and 2 steps back,

Im in need of some progress in which I lack,

Thoughts are changing, gotta get my grip,

Stop worrying about the venom in the words people spit,

 

I take one step forward and one step back,

Not interested in you talking about qualities i lack, 

Got my own problems, i get how you feel,

But you should focus on you and get off my heels,

 

I take one step forward but i take no step back,

Nothing but redemption, not gonna crack,

Its time for a change for the better i see,

Because fixing my problems start with fixin me..

I only clicked here because one of my best poems on this site was called Jade. Glad I did. The poem your wrote is a lovely jewel I can relate to. I read a few other pieces you wrote that caught my eye. This one is an emerald with impeccable truth. I liked it. Peace
