take it slow
one small triumph
at a time
baby steps
so no one will
see you fall
as you famously do
every time
you walk
.
close your eyes
just try to breathe
take it one step
at a time
baby steps
so no one will
see you trip
over your own
damn feet
.
like you
always do
.
like you
always do
.
baby steps
it will take
forever
but you’ll get
there
you’ll find
yourself at
the ledge
.
baby steps
to the edge
baby steps
you look down
baby steps
.
close your eyes
just try to breathe
as you jump
as you leap
a leap
of faith
why walk
when you were
meant to soar
.
