Right foot forward
Hold your breath
Confident you won’t forget
To not look back, or hold regret
Continue
Walking
Forward

Forget their smile and their eyes
Each concrete beat is your demise
Clench them closed
Till all is black
Time to get your life on track
Hold back tears to maintain tact
Continue
Walking
Forward

Eyes they scatter,
Glazed and stressed
Peel the floor to manifest
The truth that lies as you suggest
In the request you have for me to
Continue
Walking
Forward

Your bones loose tension
Your lungs release
You once again can find some peace
A decision made, a giant leap
A long walk back is yours to keep
