I look up
to the cliff above*
sigh*
I turned around
and shook my head
I can't
there's no way
even if I climb it
I couldn't get down
the water isn't deep enough
the sides are too steep
So in silence we sat
watching the waves roll in
letting the silence
consume the space between us
Until he said
yeah you really couldn't
I mean maybe I could
but not you
I was taken aback
how dare he say I can't
I could do anything
if I want to
I looked back up
at the perilous slopes
back down
at the waves crashing into sea boulders
And I stood up
grabbed by bags
and started my journey
to the top
Because no fear
would stand in the way
and absolutely no one
could tell me I was incapable
