The hike of life up and down these mountains we're climbing... Is it even worth it? |
sometimes i wonder if this mountain i'm climbing is even worth it i trek across this mountain looking, searching for the "wonder" and "beauty" that people keep telling me is here but i can never seem to find it except for every now and then when i'll catch a glimpse, a glimmer and then it is gone, clouded over by the reality of the rocks beneath my feet sliding down this uneven, unpredictable trail i'm following is this even the right trail? have i wandered off? i might have. all i do is come to these hills that seem to go up, on and on forever only to slope back down so steep that i slip and tumble down to the bottom so that i can wipe myself off and start up the next i think i'll stop, just for a moment close my eyes and rest my head but that will only ease my pain for a moment my only other option -- fly away fly away from these mountains through the clouds, back to the place where i belong not in this wilderness among the thorns and jagged rocks but amongst the people i've missed the lost, but the loved where i was meant to be in the clouds not on the hike |
