The steps of
growth
Line up before me.
I am not far
from the bottom.
Neither am I afraid of heights
But these
steps make me dizzy.
I just scaled
through some fears
And I am
still breathless.
The climb
stretches further than my eyes
Or mind can
see.
The Band-Aid
of experience
Sticks to my
skin
The spirit of
betrayal stings
This is a one
man walk.
But I still
drag baggage
Of friends.
Friends
unsure.
I face the
step of human relations
And I am
falling.
Grasping for
help.
One man walk;
I forgot.
The cuts from
this have not healed
May never
heal.
I am too
unsure and fearful.
So I pitch my
tent.
Tired of
trying.
This step is
too steep
My legs too
short.
My hands too
tired
And my heart
battered.
One man walk.
But I need
banisters.
For in this
walk,
If I slip;
I may never
rise.
Above all of
this petty.
The steps of
growth
Line up before me
I can't wait
to get to the top.
