An Easier Way

I fell sometime ago

Don't know why, or how, but I know I fell and I know it hurt

Now I'm at the bottom of a seemingly endless mountain

I know that if I make it to the top, the sun can trap me in it's warm embrace and I can be free

But I can't see the sun all the way down here

I must climb...


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
