I take one step forward and 3 steps back,
My mind is crazy, my bags almost packed,
Searching for a new beginning, maybe a new life,
Done with the bullshit, drama, and strife,
I take one step forward and 2 steps back,
Im in need of some progress in which I lack,
Thoughts are changing, gotta get my grip,
Stop worrying about the venom in the words people spit,
I take one step forward and one step back,
Not interested in you talking about qualities i lack,
Got my own problems, i get how you feel,
But you should focus on you and get off my heels,
I take one step forward but i take no step back,
Nothing but redemption, not gonna crack,
Its time for a change for the better i see,
Because fixing my problems start with fixin me..

I only clicked here because one of my best poems on this site was called Jade. Glad I did. The poem your wrote is a lovely jewel I can relate to. I read a few other pieces you wrote that caught my eye. This one is an emerald with impeccable truth. I liked it. Peace
