Step by step
I get a little closer
Inch by inch
I hope to find closure
Clinching my fist
As my palms begin to sweat
Perhaps I should turn around
Perhaps I should forget
Stopping in my tracks
I take a deep breath
Closing my eyes
Thinking of what's next
Figments of a dream
Of what I want it to be
But reality sinks inside
The truth, haunting me
Opening my eyes
Peering into the sun
Clouds dimming its light
I'm scared of what's to come
My feet start to move
But my heart stays behind
I'm crazy in this
Maybe I've lost my mind
My stomach is turning
I feel my heart beat
Will I win
Or claim defeat?
Step by step
Inch by inch
I hear all sorts of voices
With a devilish pitch
Debating my thoughts
My vision becomes a blur
Doing my best to forget
The voices that I heard
Shaking off the dust
Brushing off the past
Tomorrow isn't promised
Today never last
At the very least
I know I should try
If I don't
Feelings might die
The sun breaks through
The light begins to shine
I'm so very nervous
But soon I'll be fine
Making my way
Through the negative crowd
Drowning out the words
That are screaming out loud
My stomach, still turning
I feel my heart beat
Will I win
Or claim defeat?
Author notes
A few lines of this could easily sum up the message that I'm trying to live by because living in regret isn't living at all:
Shaking off the dust
Brushing off the past
Tomorrow isn't promised
Today never last
This line pretty much is the whole message of the poem/song. I'm trying to tell the reader that if there is something you want to tell someone...no matter who it is...no matter what it is...that you should say it now because tomorrow isn't a guarantee.
I'm still trying to think of a chorus for this and will add it as soon as I can think of something that I deem proper.

i really liked this. and i have a similar poem about saying what you want to say bc u never know what day will be your last..good job

Oooh Romeo, I ♥ this. And I so totally agree wih you. I used to struggle with telling people things that I felt because I was scared of how they would react or that their opinion of me might change. Im gettin better at it though. Maybe cause Im getting older and wiser. Hell, who knows. But whatever the reason, Im more at peace with myself. Anyway, I digress.
As always, you did a great job.
p.s. hurry up and get a chorus.

Yes, I too have come to terms that leaving things unsaid only fills one with regret even if what you want to say might come off as mean or in a negative way, you should still let people know how you feel or what you opinion is...
and I'm doing my best to think of something that I would deem a 'quality chorus'

Stepping to the bad side, ooh ooh ooh! <3
...I liked it!~ <3 The stepping, the inching, the EVERYTHING! <333
Tomorrow is NEVER a guarantee. Your life is like a vapor. You are here one minute and gone the next. Say what you want the opportunity arises! And since we are telling things to get it off our chest, I <3 YOU! lol *But you already this*

See what I mean about you and your thoughts?
tsk tsk
And yes...you can be alive one second and the next everything can be gone. Of course, I'm not saying you shouldn't THINK about what you want to say rather than just say what comes to mind because you have to take into consideration of certain situations
But I'm glad I finally wrote something you actually find somewhat decent
PS...for once I get to correct you and say you forgot the word *know* in the last sentence you wrote
