i think it might show

walking down this sidewalk
i see something fresh, i see something new
i see something i think might change me, something that might change you
i see tomorrow, i see yesterday, i see today, i see my downfall
i see nothing, i see nothing at all

can i say, can i say i'm sorry now
for maybe i've shared something i have no right to
maybe i've said something wrong somehow
it seems i've stumbled, it seems i'm falling low
it seems i'm breaking apart, and i think it might show

i know now what i was ignorant of then
i know which way the world turns and exactly where i've been
i don’t know which step to take next, or in which shoe
i think that’s the funny part, after all
don’t you?

Something I wrote after a long hiatus from writing. My first poem in Ottawa, also.
