The beginning
And it seems like
The next hill is
Unattainable,
Too tall,
Too scary,
And you're an ant next to
A mountain,
And you wonder why
You're here in the first place?
I too have crawled across those cracks and crevices, crying out in confusion and complexity. Crippled.
I too have thought it was impossibility
That held me back
Broken
Hoping
That this was destiny
That it isn't too big for me
And that impossibility
Is possibility
I'm so tired I let go
And for an eternal moment
I am falling
Breathless, heart pounding in my ears
I am terrified.
And when I fall, I land, perhaps
For the better
In square 1
And it's back to the beginning with me
Is square 1 really that bad?
We have to start somewhere.
Why not here?
Why not in the silent solitude of square 1
Sometimes I wonder why I must start over
Why am I so frail
So weak that it can't be attained
But there is always hope
And life allows plan Bs
And second chances
And perhaps one day
I  will climb that mountain after all
And look into the blistering sunlight
And see tons of other ants
That we're brave enough to do so
