Falling Steps

The steps are all falling away as i walk,next to each side of me are pictures

It seems as though I have started walking down my own life, but I can't control what happens

I remember the pictures as a tear drops from my face, I want to run away from it all

If I try to everything below will collapse, I have no choice but to face the truth behind what exactly has been hapening

I realize that the truth has been hidden in the images, as i take the time to look at them

My emotions change faster then each season, but the strangest thing happens the steps start to build back into a path,

I slowly realize that they never loved and that they didn't love me, I go back and take the pictures of my chilshood

I only leave the present to be written as I walk along, I'm not afraid to face the truth

But I have decided to abandon the past and wait to start a new future

I tried to walk a little faster to start it, but a step falls I'm moving to fast

And I'm missing one important detail, I've slowed down and make sure that I watch to make

Sure the mistakes don't happen again not only the ones I've made but the ones that they have made

I've created something new as I wak and keep making my way forward, there is a door

But I can't open it until I've made it past the events that are leading me to the key for the door

This time I've filled my memories with new beginnings and new adventures

My steps won't fall anymore, as long as thier gone
