The Climb
/Hanging onto this ledge
by what feels like a thread.
I should have gone left
however I turned right
on this confusing trail.
Quickly, the trail ran out
and did not connect to the top.
The hard climb up the bluff has begun.
Climbing this terrain is tough
as I cannot get the proper footing
and keeping the grip is a struggle.
Pushing, pulling, hard to move upward.
Keep reminding myself
this climb is one difficult step at a time.
Taking deep, tired breaths,
telling myself not to fall
as it is not my time.
That strength is internal
to continue this climb.
