One Step at a Time by Bri Van Reenen

One Step at a Time by Bri Van Reenen

I want it more than the temporary.
I will resolve it every day and then
become discouraged, and perhaps wary
to follow myself down that path again.
Traveled often with no destination,
though I always set out with one in mind.
I wake up to see me at my station,
hitting fast-forward only to rewind.
You can invest and plan with the best tools,
never take simple steps to overthrow —
feel guilt when the old ones remain to rule,
always coping with what you have to know.
But this is not to wallow in defeat —
“One step at a time,” I write from my seat.
