You Are a Stone Mountain

You are a steep mountain.
Offering me no hope to scale you.
Giving me no rocks to cling to
No reason for me to push through.
No matter how much I train my body
In an attempt to reach the top
You are a steep mountain
And though I try to climb
I drop.

You are a stormy sea
Offering me no hope to cross
Offering thunder claps to make me deaf
Giving me tidal waves to knock me into the depths
Allowing me no escape except through death
And no matter how much I train myself
Or how big I build my boat
You are a stormy sea
And I can never stay 
Afloat
