Within My Mind

Day by day
Step by step
We make our way
Trying to forget
The pain of yesterday

Eye to eye
Tear by tear
Seeking why
There’s so much fear
In my mind

Day by day
Turn the Page
Same old story
Age to age
The pains of yesterday

Lie after lie
Spoken in my ear
Over and over in time
Afraid to disappear
Inside my mind

Hiding in wait
Lost in gaze
Attempting to navigate
This twisted maze
The pains of yesterday

Laughter hides
What’s crystal clear
Broken inside
Fading out to disappear
Within my mind.

Beautiful poem.

To lighten things a bit though, I read the first two lines backwards and it made me think of the theme song of Step By Step, one of my beloved early ’90s tv shows on ABC’s TGIF lineup…

  I think that I posted another poem that begins Step by Step. Good show. So I switched it up. But I like it better with Step by Step first too

Crystal clear is to be broken
for me is that you can shine
a lot of pieces on the floor
I can see you don’t feel fine.
Once again everyday
Living the same old story
this is not easy to do
we can learn to find glory.
