My climb

[Jalili]

After much climbing I’ve reached a peak of a particular time
Surveying the landscape of my mind I feel the wind pick up blowing back to me
The life I left before I began my journey to find where my future lies
Feeling the earth shake beneath me, I realize that standing still
Would only allow me to re-enter my own traps
Suffer my same torture as my own flaws take hold of my improvement
Once again setting me back to before my shift to change
So I battle on with my new resolve to live for my life
Lightening my mental loads as I replace my past thoughts with present experience
That glow my path as I climb toward my future
Guided only by the sickening taste of what I’m use to
Pushing away what I’ve feed my psyche that lead to my obese state fat with personal pity
My only light in my drowning darkness is a memory left behind that travels with me
Though I let other ones die as I take in new ones
The love she gave me fuels my continuation as her final words to me reminds me
Of my life forcibly marked with happiness followed by death
I go on alone scaling my mountains with the strength that my destination ends at the top
My goal now is to look down from where I will stand and see the path I took
And for the first time be able to look at it with eyes of accomplishment
That I got where I was meant to go
Proudly holding the life I’ve created in my arms one more time before I am called to go
Gracefully kiss her goodbye as she sets out on her own journey to climb
