Steps
I watched a movie become my life
So much people can't understand
Crisis after crisis so far from bland
Just seeking understanding, not strife
There are only few places I can be me
I am the only one to walk this step
As I move forward with street smart pep
These steps are mine, to stay or to flee
Everyone experiences their own things
Many of mine different, it is what it is
No need for questions or a challenging quiz
Healing and closure is what persistence brings
I fight, I believe, I pray with faith and hope
Through all that happens day to day
Whether I rest or whether I run away,
Peaceful places wait on the mountain slope
