I don’t know what I’m holding on to <br /> <br />I only know I want to let go <br /> <br />My fingers are bleeding <br /> <br />My hands are slipping <br /> <br />My body is breaking <br /> <br />My spirit wearing... my foothold <br /> <br />Is gone <br /> <br /> <br />I don’t know what I’m holding on for <br /> <br />I am blinded by my tears <br /> <br />Crippled by doubt and fear <br /> <br />Is this a mountain I must climb? <br /> <br />What is it I hope to find? <br /> <br /> <br />But I’ve made up my mind <br /> <br />I want to get to the other side <br /> <br />I’m not blindly holding on <br /> <br />I am holding on … for dear life <br /> <br />This is a mountain I must climb <br /> <br />This is a mountain... <br /> <br />And I will survive. <br /> <br /> <br />© 2009 Sonya Florentino<br /><br />Sonya Florentino<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mountain-to-climb/
