Climb
Verse 1
Your brain is hurting
Resistance hits your face
Climbing gets harder
As you slow your pace
Verse 2
You feel ill equipped
For the steepness of the slope
Hundreds have doubted you
As your hands slip on the rope
Verse 3
The top so far away
As you peak through the mist
Below you a black cavern
Strangely welcoming in appearance
Verse 4
Stopping to catch your breath
Self doubt fills your head
Suddenly all alone
Your soul filled with dread
Verse 5
Hands and legs are shaking
Path ahead not clear
Your brain is now screaming
Eyes filled with fear
Verse 6
Drawing on advice given
You grab for the next hold
Only to have it crumble
Your quest for life sold
Verse 7
Frozen solid not moving
Your life pressed to the cliff
There only is one solution
As your inner darkness shifts
​
Verse 8
Letting go the rope
You fall into the dark
A smile appears briefly
Your pain over at last
