One step forward, two steps back...

One step forward, two steps back...

A Poem by Lex Shamlin

Tay- Sach’s
is a disorder in genes.
A baby develops,
then at 6 months
the baby starts to back track.
That is life.
Take one step forward,
two steps back.
One day will be fun.
The next is like none of it happened.
One step forward,
two steps back.
One day of no cutting,
the next day it’s like you never stopped.
One step forward,
two steps back.
Life sucks,
that’s just how it is.
But that’s why you make friends.
Friends to hold you,
to comfort you.
Friends that will make you laugh
until your about to die.
Friends that will beat any boy
who messes with your heart.
I thought I had those friends.
I thought that my ‘friends’ would take care of me.
That they wouldn’t leave me stranded.
But they did.
One step forward,
two steps back.
Back to the crying.
Back to the cutting.
Back to the fake smile.
And back to the hiding.
One step forward,
two steps back.
Here I am,
living my nightmare over again.
Life sucks,
that’s just how it is.
One step forward,
two steps back.
