I’ve been climbing this mountain for so long;
I’m exhausted from the effort.
Having forgotten why I started;
My thoughts cloud over from pain and struggle.
Continually, I wonder if it is worth the work?
I’ve heard said, the view at the top is spectacular.
At this point, I do not care
and just want to lay down and sleep-
But part of me will not quit.
Unable to go forward
or go back;
I rest against this cliff face
Unable to move.
Perhaps at sunrise
My energy and resolve will return,
and I can start anew.
Who can say-
For now, I am frozen.
