Step

I step back,
I look at my life,
I know what I want,
And I know it will make me happy,
^here, I don't think the "I know" in the last line adds to anything in the poem, and it would help fix the length in the last line if you erased it.

I take another step back,
I look yet again,
I've put myself in too deep,
To run away now,
^I think in the second line it's kind of hard to read, maybe try "And look once more" or something like that might be better suited.

I wish it was easier,
A way where I wouldn't hurt,
To gain a new life and forget my current,
Or hold onto my life now and forget my future,
^"hold onto" was for some reason difficult to me and messed up my flow, maybe "keep" or something simplier like that would help..

The pain is gonna be there,
No matter what I choose,
But which will hurt more,
Which way do I step now?
^Second line, "what" should be "which".

Good beginning, good ending. Overall, the poem was well written. I like the idea of it, it's something I haven't seen before. Very well done (:

I agree, adding in 'stepping back' to look at the problem did add to the mood. Short but effective. I like it.

This poem was very well written. I like how it used the stepping back to look into the problem and it just kind of added to the mood. I don't know if you wanted a gradual progression of growing stanzas, but I feel as though if the third stanza was shorter, it would flow so much better. The poem did capture my attention at the beginning though. well written

Beautifully written poem, very expressive. Excellent poem.
