Climbing up a mountain <br />Pulling myself higher and higher <br />Out of the pit of misery. <br /> <br />Things seem to look brighter <br />Grass is growing, birds are singing <br />and the sun emerges from the clouds. <br /> <br />Then you start to slip <br />Lose your grasp <br />and down you fall. <br /> <br />Not quite to the bottom <br />Just teetering on a ledge <br />Could go over at any moment. <br /> <br />Do you have the strength to climb again? <br />The pain of my cut soul <br />Burns like a fire. <br /> <br />The anger, hurt and frustration <br />Come flooding back into my mind <br />The fight for survival starts again. <br /> <br />Over come the fears <br />Search for the holds <br />Rely on the support from before. <br /> <br />It's going to be difficult but <br />I'v done it once before <br />So i can do it again. <br /> <br />Try to remember i'm not the only <br />One out there. There are other climbers <br />Fighting their own battles. <br /> <br />Searching their own souls <br />And conquering their own mountains <br />How many mountains do i have to climb <br />Because the ledge seems so near?<br /><br />Ruth warren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/climbing-3/
