The Step Too Far

There’s always a step too far.

It isn’t always obvious where it is, sometimes it’s a lot further than you’d think, sometimes you find yourself taking it for all the right reasons, and sometimes you don’t even notice it as you run past.

I’ve taken it several times now, every time always swearing to myself that this was the last time, that I wouldn’t do it again, beating myself up.

And then doing it again anyway.

Because one day, one day, I’ll take what should be the step too far and find out there’s solid ground there.

Or just fall.
