• One Step Forward; Two Back

    I hear the screams resound
    from deep within my soul
    as another day goes by
    with me no closer to my goal.

    A young child trapped deep inside;
    a girl with no one to call her own.
    Deep in the caverns of my mind,
    she now must walk the paths alone.

    Aimlessly wandering as though blind
    with no light to guide her home,
    it seems she will forever be lost;
    a stranger wherever she doth roam.

    Who will come to her aide now
    to help her from out of the caves?
    Who will take her by the hand
    and show her the true love she craves?

    When my eyes lose their sight,
    and all I see is the deepest black,
    I will still be taking one step forward
    but always falling two steps back.
