I place my hand on one side of the mountain, then the other
I put a foot on the mountain, and pull, but I fall again
After many attempts (and many failures) I collapse out of frustration and exhaustion
I decide to take a break, resting my back against this despicably lovely mountain
And there, in the sunlight, I see perfect, glistening marble stairs
Leading me directly where I need to go
