One Step Closer

Every moment we try to get one step closer
whether its literally or metaphorically
whether its to a destination or a goal
we try to get one step closer.

whether its to get something we want or something we need
Whether its to finish a new cure or a create new weapon
Whether its one step closer to insanity
Or one step closer to reformation
we always are getting one step closer.

whether its a step closer to violence
or a step closer to peace
a step closer to love
or a step closer to war
we are always moving one step closer.

going a step closer is easy
going two steps can be easier
but just staying still is hard
its harder to take a step back.

for the troubles and hardships of life
a step back is needed
it can be hard but just try
take a step back and take in life
stay still and enjoy everything
enjoy life and its glory
go one step closer to the good
and go one step farther from the bad.

the rush of life pushes us forward one step closer
go against the rush and just stop
time will push on but you need to push back
enjoy everything and once the enjoyment is done
once life has seeped in
once youve seen the good
and once youve seen the bad
go one step closer.

go one step closer to your goals
to your destination
to the cure
to the weapon
go one step closer
and when life once again becomes too much
take a step back
just go back and forth
and back and forth
and back and forth
because if you take life in all at once
you wont be able to enjoy it

when you need to
take one step back
stay still as long as you need
and when youre ready
go one step closer.
