One More Step, a poem by Alyssah Alvarez

 Just one more step, I say.

Inside, I feel grey.

The world feels heavy and still

But I try to keep moving with thrill

The future seems so unclear

And filled with fear.

Whatever happens next 

I remember to stay strong.

At times, the world seems tough

And I feel like giving up

But my determination keeps me going

And it makes me feel as if I am glowing

With every step, I find power

That keeps me going every hour

Determination lights my way

And guides me through the day
