i'm standing at the top,
looking over everyone else
still going on with daily life
that had started feeling more like a chore to me
like a goddess in the heavens
watching over the earth
while i'm here
where time has slowed,
where peace is found,
where happiness is apparent
and sadness gone.
the highest i can go,
a relief,
a safe haven,
a break
after a climb up a rocky and steepest mountain.
but it's a shame that
this feeling of relief will soon be replaced with
near-crippling anxiety and stress,
this safe haven was just a facade of the hell it's to become,
this break that was too, too short for me to even catch my breath,
and that when this is the highest i can ever go,
i'm destined to fall back
