Mar 7
My arms shook as I held myself
Closely to the rock face,
Fingers cramping and toes
Just barely holding on—
I would rather look down,
And see all that I have overcome,
Than dwell on the stony,
Impenetrable wall I was now
Challenged to scale.
Sometimes moving on would be easier. But I can't help but look back, simply to delay and appease my fear, knowing it is hurting me more.
