I dove in head first--
didn't think about it
let the huge bubble
around me burst--
ignored the warning signs
of shallow water all around
not the least fearful
of landing on the ground
instead of the murky, watery sea--
but the ground came fast
and slammed right into me--
still I got my *** right back up again
and climbed that huge ladder
all determined to be the one to win
and jumped this time feet first--
and yep,
still made that bubble burst,
but this time I landed smack into the sea
and swam far, far away from here
seems it was finally my time to just be free!

Early morning, still asleep, but awake. Driving.
Trail head, moving, but still asleep. Starting.
Early blues, dirt and cold, move. Hiking.
Sunrise, waking up, seeing green. Accepting.
Light and day, a smile, and examination. Upwards.
Afternoon, some food, energized. Suspense.
Another start, a drink, you see it. Anticipation.
Final push, sun overhead, sweat. Breaking.
A moment, you're there, the peak. Relief.
A pause, a rest, the magic. Beauty.
Postpone, delay, but down again. Exhaustion.
Aching, sore, but worth it. Descent.
Time, darkness, back again. Driving.
Ahead -- another mountain, tall, for tomorrow. Sleep.

such a mixed up,
messed up soul
murky eyes full
of hearts she stole
with empty hands
she gives her all
seeking the climb
so she feels the fall

It's pressing on my chest
Like a weight that can't be lifted
I hate the way it feels
As if the world is tilted
I climb and climb
But fall back down
To my place
Here on the ground
I've lost my wings
I've lost my hope
I need a reason to climb back up
Kaitlin Evers Sep 2016
trapped for years
barred
behind my fears
an iron pen
not of men
held me for a time
a rocky climb
though now I'm free
to live and be
no one else,      
No one else, but me

The goal is to climb the mountain
Not carry it.
Life is a climb, with so much baggage and weight on my shoulders it seems near impossible sometimes

I climbed a mountain
and I looked down below.
Maybe I could have stayed up there longer
if I hadn't looked down on you.
I climbed a mountain,
leaving my past on the ground below.
Why did I feel the need to look down there?
I was so ready, so eager to start anew.
I climbed a mountain
but I stumbled when my fears began to show.
I hesitated, backpedaled, faltered,
and fell through.
Down...

down...


down...

to the bottom of the mountain,
back to my old ways, on the ground below.
Maybe I could have stayed up there longer
if I had climbed the mountain with you.
