Taking Two Steps Forward One Step Back

Feeling lost once again
My mind cluttered in thoughts unrelated
Will I ever shake the cobwebs?
Or will they they ever entwine with the present
Halting all progress?

Taking two steps forward one step back

They talk about moving forward
That it's easy as determination
The mind the only barrier
A heart of concrete
To replace the shattered glass

Taking two steps forward one step back

Hope doesn't spring eternal
But it grows in neglected spaces
When the sun shines once again
Peaking up for a season
Then withering once again

Will it always be that way?

Two steps forward one step back
