The Unsure Step


The questions linger, 

drifting day-to-day

Am I living the right life? 

Is this where I am meant to stay? 


I make the turns 

right or wrong 

the path still beckons— 


Am I leading 

or only following along? 


Is a life living me 

or am I living a life? 

The current carries me 

And countless others 


Habit moves the masses 

One step after the next

but what moves my foot forward 

in this right-or-wrong life 


Maybe the answer isn’t fixed—

not a signpost, not a star 


The right life is the one

I keep stepping toward 

even when I’m unsure

why my foot moves at all
