Bottom of the Mountain

I am at the bottom of the mountain Waiting to get to the top The top no one controls but me I am at the bottom of the mountain With two decisions Turn back from the mountain and hide Or face the challeneges of the mountain I control I am at the bottom of a new mountain With two decisions one to leave and one to continue Continue a path of troubles and tribulation and enjoy at the top Or walk away and enjoy I am at the bottom of a mountain I chose to climb A mountain with no ending A mountain I end I am at the bottom of the mountain Where the top feels a million miles away Yet is so close to me I am at the bottom of a mountain About to begin a journey A journey of lessons Of falls Of failures Of slips I am at the bottom about to begin With the top not in sight The journey is what Leads me from bottom to top - Dania Punjani
