Steps

Which move should I make? Which way should I go?

Step up?
Take a chance, roll the dice yet again
watch as the arrow flies
through the air
can it go the distance?

Step back?
Hold back from the inevitable pain
let my insecurity and worry
take away
the best thing I know?

Step in?
try to replace the one she really wants
the one who wants her
but can’t have her
be second best?

Step out?
Keep hidden the past, present,
and possible future
try to go back
to my boring life?
