Small Steps
BY CHLOE SHAWCROSS It’s the small steps The silent steps
The ones no one sees you take That mean the most It’s all the little things That add up The things that make you go from Why today why To you know what, I can’t wait for tomorrow Sometimes it’s eating in a public place again Sometimes it’s letting someone physically near you Sometimes it’s you know what I have to be here so I can see who wins this show It’s looking in the mirror and not glaring or tearing at your reflection It’s answering a question in class that you know instead of being silent It’s looking up and seeing a beautiful world saying I can’t wait to see the flowers bloom It’s saying I can’t control what happened or how I was born But saying I deserve happiness no matter what anyone says It’s saying it’s OK to not be OK Saying that steps are steps no matter their size 19 • A R T • S TUDENT LIFE
