Taking Next Step Up Rather Not 2 Far
I for 1
Am all for taking
The next big step up
So long as that next step
Doesn't require anyone
Stepping on or over
Those who 1st helped them take
baby steps
That lead you to the bottom step and
in doing so inspired your desire to climb
at all
Like when after winning a major
tournament achieving said sought
success
The second after you sack that very
coach that got you and set you on
your winning way and path
Then stepping on or over there dreams
is a price worth willing to pay
Rather not a step to far
Because to me that would be a
crushing blow
And the greatest loss or all
Because any victory devoid without
one's friends to compliment and
celebrate with
Is as hollow and as empty as
the heart that is willing to cast's aside
Those who should mean the most
Simply in order to get what they want
