Struggle
The rocks were cold and sharp as my fingers scamble for a hold,muscles straining ,burning with fire from the forces of fighting gravity. breath coming in short gasps..i look down and see my car like a matchbox toy ,i shudder with momentary fear as i close my eyes, my brain starts saying why?n what in the hell are you doing?....i turn my sight back to the rocks and pure anger strengthens my resolve ..i reach once more for the next crack and wiggle my fingers in,locking them and start to push,all thoughts gone...only move grab climb...
Hours pass as i slowly creep higher alll thoughts gone ,one with the pain in my hands and legs ...goal in sight my heart pounds ,almost there ....as my hand tops the cliff and grasp franticly for a hold ...all i find is loose dirt and panic is creeping in,closing my eyes i start to calm down ,i hear the wind ...i concentraite ....and push with my leggs and reach farther ,farther ....and there it is ....and hand grabs mine and i open my eyes ...and there she is ...a smile breaks from my face like a beam of light ...i pull and swing my other hand up and grasp with both hands ..pushing harder then ever i rise over the edge and crawl till im all the way up ....rolling over panting with excertion i turn to say thanks and no ones there ...i look around and see nothing but rocks .....how can this be ? whos hand did i grab?i lay back down panting ,bewildered ...i close my eyes and rest....now thoughts rush in ,remembering why im here ....
Shes gone ,...now what? ..i thought as i stared at my shoes...i can still smell her scent and see her smile in everything i see ...i need to find a new way of living ....looking up i see an ad on the tv ...whose volume has been off for days ...its saying climp death mountain ..reinvent the soul....i start to laugh just what i need ...me out of shape getting fool ideas of climbing a killer cliff...i turn and go to bed..but thoughts are racing ......should i? could i? ...i sleep.......
Several days later i find myself at the rock after taking a quick training and saftey course i approach the rock ....loooking up my stomach clenchs and i feel fear...i start to back away ...and stop...i think to myself ...what do i have to go back to? nothing ...its this or sit and try a bullet...and thats not what i need ...sure i laugh trade a bullet for a broken body as i crash to the ground .....my resolve hardens and i take the first step .....
I open my eyes and slowly roll over and push my self up ...i sit at the edge looking down .....do i yell and scream my feelings of beating this mountain? do i wave at the small people on the ground? ...no i decided ...this is a personal victory ...and some feelings are best kept for myself ...then it hits me ...........how do i get down....??????
