People who can’t trust, can’t be trusted.

I stood there, staring into the abyss and thinking, wondering where I went wrong. How’d I get here, what led it so far from my path; how I get so far from something so close?

One step forward is two steps back. I didn’t know it at the time but I wasn’t going anywhere fast. Steps back in time is where I wanted to climb . But there’s nothing for me back there.
