THAT ONE STEP

I knew that day I made a mistake

In October on that late night

I broke a very important rule

And since then I continue to fight.

Then I went and was stupid again

Disrespecting myself with him for hours

Finally being caught by dad

And losing all my powers.

I've been grounded for two months now

It's been the time I've had

Fighting with who all I know

And constantly feeling sad.

Not learning from those mistakes

I went and did the worst of all

I went against my parents rule

And saw my begin to fall.

I couldn't make a phone call

To anyone I knew

I had to keep away from them

Until my grounding was through.

It was so hard for to take

Having mom and dad so mad

I try to make the right choice

But to the fire I just add.

Now I come for help

I've never been to such a place

I thought they'd not care at all

But I'm leaving now with grace.

I've met so many people

That made me want to change

I'm not going to fight anymore

My life will rearrange.

I can't wait to leave here

My mom will be happy

My dad will be surprised

That I'm no longer snappy.

I not only thank God for help

But my mom and dad too

The staff here at the hospital

Helped myself get through.

School will be different

To better myself, the goal

I'm going to focus the best I can

To improve my future as a whole.

I never would have gone through this

If I truly didn't care

All I did was take that step

And now the love, we share.
