Two steps forward
Two steps back
I'm beginning to lose track
Two lives lost
Two lives gained
Can't find a place to lay the blame
My heart is broken
Or maybe just cracked
Two steps forward
No steps back

I wrote this about two days after my grandfather passed away. I was feeling pretty down at first, but I started to see the better side of things. I hope people will see how at first its like you arent going anywhere, but keep pushing through and you will make progress.
