There it is
is there I just
can't grab it
yet.
I need to
take my time
slow down watch
my steps carefully
monitor my actions
rethink my thoughts
before I do
One mistake
could ruin
everything i have ever
Wanted
Wished
Hoped
even dreamed of
I see it
its there in my reach
I feel it
it smells like happiness
Its there
I know it
I just have
to take one
step at a time
getting there
