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
