Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

I’m doing well

I reply

I’m doing well

I cry

Whoa. Where’d

That come from?

Two steps forward

One step back.

I’m ready to clean

I  go get boxes

I’m ready to clean

I gather your things

I’m ready to clean

Hmmm. I guess not.

Two steps forward

One step back.

I’m ready to move on

I tell myself

I’m ready to move on

Huddled in your shirt

I’m ready to move on

Perhaps tomorrow

Two steps forward

One step back
