Fateful Climb
Oh how I try to understand
The chaos clinging to my hand
Past mistakes made
Slowly the memories fade
Wondering where now will I land
Will it be smacked flat on my face
Or strong, proud and full of Grace
Only the higher power knows
What in life comes and goes
Yet, I continue to pray for my peaceful place
Continuing to keep my chin up
Counting the blessings that fill my cup
That allows me to smile
Take time, lay back, relax for awhile
Before my mind begins to become corrupt
All the drama, tears, and high stakes
Holding close to stop feeling the shakes
Of the demons inside trying to escape
Lock up the cell; apply the duct tape
Losing control, quickly stomping the breaks
Praying for the sliding to stop
In the devils valley, looking up the mountain top
The journey seems so long and hard
With my heart and soul already scarred
I keep climbing through the muck and slop
Knowing the hard work pays off in time
Quit thinking, and finish the climb
Stumbling and tripping
Yet, determined and fiercely gripping
Anxious to see my realities with such sublime
