Steps

Kaylesha Yvette cooper 1978 (United States)

If you sit and observe
There are levels to this game
I can't let my blunders
Change my tomorrow
When I know from time to time
I make mistakes
It is true
We all do
It is expected day to day
But the emphasis
Has to be on limiting them
So we don't become held hostage
As our own mental entrapped slave.
