Next Step

by Inas Esse

To live through a portrait you draw,
Is so exciting;
To point next steps,
And where you will go,
But, did you include your real life,
And what is happening around
Life is not just steps,
It is the smell,
Sense and sound.
Still, you cannot force illusions
To come true,
Or raise you up
On an imaginary top.
And now,
What about your next step?
Does it just belong to your portrait,
Or in real life will attend?
