Footprints

I see the path you’re on

It was once my own

You follow in my footprints

Let me guide you to success then

You can make a wrong move

At literally any minute

But I wouldn’t judge the outcome

Maybe you’re showing me

What I should’ve done

It’s wonderful to watch you

Take the opposite path I’d take

Find out that the world’s worst moments

They’re all fake

Because to us

We find positive in our trust

That I’m the future

But you’re more like the thrust

Shifting the past to leave more

To disappear to dust

It’s about time

I give up mine

The presence you possess

It’s not even a contest

We’re always doing our best

From here to the future

To the past tense

So when I say

You following me

Don’t be afraid

Simply look at the footprints

I made

It’s like a road map to freedom
