Steps

When does it all stop?
If it ever does
The mind and soul are weakened
The heart still tries to pump blood even after being victimized
The road to happiness leads off a cliff
The ego is shot
Confidence lacks confidence which leads to defeat
Hour hand has already struck
The sound of the bells have begun to ring
Too late
The manipulation bug has commenced eating away
at the cerebral infecting the fight or flight response
You get what you ask for in life and sometimes more
Supporting cast is non-existent
It exists but not prevalent when need be
Watch your steps
Those steps are running out
Those steps are in short supply
Those steps can be the beginning of something magnificent
or the ending to a good story
Those steps can appropriately identify the W’s of the English language
Those steps are exactly what they are
Steps with very heavy pressure of weight
That lack genuine thought
Artificial love that’s being fried to an endless cook
Take a look at your prints you left behind
Are they memorable? 
Do they make you proud?

Thanks again. Sometimes I am hesitant to display my writings because of the fear of not connecting with people. So it's really gratifying that someone has enjoyed it and that positively about it. Thanks again for the encouragement.
