One step

Im standing behind a wall.
A wall without a floor.
I keep holding on, but I don't think I can hold on anymore.
I look up, I look down.
I see nothing but my frown.
I look left. I look right I see everything in black and white.
Im frozen in time.
I know, I see, I hear, The climb.
But my heart and soul are miles apart.
I step 2 steps forward, and 20 steps back.
Progress is something I lack.
Every time I try equals plus a time that I fail.
My foot is one step away, and there it'll stay,
One step away from hell.
