One Step

One Step

A Poem by Britteny

A nervous wreak
One thought
Away from
Total disaster
My mind needs to be
Preoccupied
With something
Anything
Running circles
Circles of worry
Far into the hours of night
The what ifs
The whys
The whos
The could haves
The would haves
I will probably
Probably
Most definitely
Erase this
Several
No multiple times
Not even this is safe
Safe from my mind
That will ultimately
Pick it line from line
Think am I good
Am I good enough
Am I good at anything
Why do I flirt with disaster
One step away from
Caving completely in
Why do I no longer
Know when poems should end
Questions should end
