The journey that keeps continuing,
Begins to feel like climbing a mountain that never ends.
The steepness of the mountain weakens me.
Howling wind blows me right back to the start again,
Forcing me to re-climb this long adventure.
As I struggle to climb again,
The wind slows down to a steady brisk pace;
Letting me catch my breath.
Finally.

It becomes to much weight to carry.
I can't walk the weight off that is dragging me down,
But I am willing to start over,
Willing to fix the mistakes that once brought me down,
Maybe separated me from the real world;
I am no longer drowning in my own mistakes.
I can take the hard challenges the world throws at me,
Bring it on,
I'm ready!
