The Climb
I climb and climb,
This mountain seems to have no peak,
No peak in clear vision,
Though I tread forth-
Letting the stone support my wide feet,
I have waited my whole life-
To get as far in height-
As I have already achieved,
This mountain offers cautionary signs,
Cowards back down making vile excuses,
I silently force myself on,
My body is withering like a rose lacking water-
Though I have so many reasons to continue the climb,
Success is a mountain,
Do you accept the challenge?
