she stands
at the foot
of the mountain
longing to reach the top
I can see that fear
is holding her back
so I take her hand
and begin walking with her
every day she comes
sits down at the corner table
sips her coffee
and looks forlorn

I want to sit down
next to her
and to I smile at her
to change her expression

but every time I try
I hit the invisible wall
she has erected around herself
so as not to be disturbed
she is desperate
nothing she attempts
leads to success
she tries hard
to achieve her goals
but she always fails

I feel sorry for her
as she does not realise
that trying hard
but always failing
simply means
she should change direction
why do you love me
she expectantly asks

I have asked myself
the same question
he answers and smiles
I understand
that life
is stressful
for you

but do you understand
that life
is stressful
for me
