Life in the Mountains
I was prepared for something that’s fabricated
I felt assured and ignorantly believed it all
Nothing could have prepared me for reality
I made it over the hill and saw a mountain
The sight was overwhelming and unanticipated
Its height towered over any wall
The apex was my goal of infallibility
I followed the spiraled road around the mountain
My progress started good and steady
I walked awestricken at the dazzling view
Then I slipped into my complacency
This mountain trip was leisure assured
I thought I could do anything and was ready
My thinking however was too askew
Too pompous to see the inevitable fallacy
The gravity of success left my pressured
As I climbed an avalanche started to build
Near the top and unguided I was doomed
Anger, sadness, and apathy left me for ruin
The mountain collapsed all around me
The damage I reined left everyone chilled
In a world that is gray and gloomed
At the bottom I’m at my own reunion
The mountain, now a rock no one can see
