Step By Step

Step by step……………………..
I am moving closer to what I am supposed to
Suppose to do what I don’t know
I don’t know what I am supposed to do
Step by step………………....
I am moving forward towards to a new goal
To a place I am supposed to go, 
A goal I struggle, but no one knows
Step by step…………………
My trouble circles like merry go
Intertwines with my flaws so I move slow
So slow my brain begins to over flow
Step by step……………….
I am over cumbered with thoughts inside my mind
They race to fast I am starting to trail behind
This life is leaving me, now’s not the time to be blind
Step by step…………….
I only see the negative path that I have lead
The truth of lies that I miss read
The rough water that my mind makes me tread
Step by step …………
I failed everybody I knew in my life
The tears that falls is the blades that cut me like a knife
My heart that bleeds deep, I don’t want to lose my wife
Step by step ………
I carry the unconditional love as a father 
I hope she never ever bothers to wonder
But this burden is so deep. I don’t want it discovered.
Step by step …..
I am moving further away to what I suppose to
Suppose to do the things I never do 
I am better off far away from both of you.
Step By step..

This is a very sad poem, and I read a lot of despair in it. I have been where you are (I think), and I can tell you that no one will be happy when you move away from them, so stay! Write more, and welcome to PoetrySoup.
