Analysis of Stepping

Ronald Allen 1985 (Pittsburgh PA)



Steps better be careful
because falling to far into other levels happens.
Boundaries are always set over the heads as this world turns it self.
The Steps we take be to big anyways at every planning we display.
Thoughts be triggered after every mistake we make.
Steps better be careful,
because falling does happen.
Levels are so set high now a days
many are so forced to reach their highest.
It’s a blessing steps gives days to learn,
levels gives energy to burn,
If boundaries are not solid so they break.
Besides the peoples hate in their voice,
you falling means nothing.
Your return proudly is more of a burn,
and it’s cooking them.
Protect yours before cracks appear.
Take it one step at a time before a lesson get skipped,
while trying finding holes to go through
from bothering different levels that’s not allowed from you just yet.
