Analysis of Mountain
Do I have to climb this mountain?
A mountain so forebording a challenge it floods me with fear.
The fear of not trying equalled only by the guilt of not trying.
I know of no-one with the answers I seek-for no-one can hear.
The answers lie at the top of the mountain, of that I am certain.
I am obliged to climb this mountain,
yet I am so ill equipped: I have no guide no help, and no clear path to follow.
Do I run, do I walk, how to start such a challenge?
I have no-one to ask, for no-one can hear.
But wait, this is the purpose to confront, for the mountain will have the answers.
I WILL CLIMB MY MOUNTAIN.
