I am a mountain. Oh, the valley of person I used to be You remember, I was so deep. So deep that You blew off the dust gently - From your binoculars Just to see what was at my bottom The valley of myself that at one time Was so rough and so steep That when you climbed down to touch the Base of who I really was Because for you a look wasn’t enough You came up I’ll admit victorious But bloodied. The last of you I saw Were your red footprints leading away So since you’ve been gone I am a mountain. I have turned myself inside out Rivaling Everest Every sore and bump, you can see now! I have made it so all you have to do is look up. Now all I do is look down Waiting for bandaged footprints To walk beside the red ones Only in a different direction.
