The Mountain
Here i sit on top of my mountain of fear
Looking down at my assumptions
All by myself on top of my shattered dreams
The ropes of regret dangle below
These excuses like steps in the rocks of my rage
Did not take long to make this my normal
That climb was not hard kept burying the feelings
The tears have all gone dry
I chose to forget those forged paths
I chose to ignore those around
I've spent these years climbing this fault
Letting a past dictate a future
Who knows how i got here
When you push it all down you never let it resurface
But it does it builds you up to knock you right back down
You thought you forget but you know it still hangs over head
Your best keep secrets are you worst realism
That mountain seems like a figment of your imagination.
Your own reality i believed i was safe i believed no one could destroy this but in essence I've become the destruction the chaos i empower. This mountain still stands tall. I haven't climb anything i have not live up to my expectations. I have not reached any top goal. I've glided through unscratched but this is not true.
This mountain upon where i sit is the obstacle of my past.
The very foundation i've built for myself shaky and unstable.
