Understanding Life.

The Top of the mountain

by jusylee72

I thought I wanted to change my past
    To say I'm over it
       To shout, I have moved on 
 
I wanted to pretend 
    Pain no longer existed 
        A miracle cure 

Evolved into one of those
       Perfect People, we believe exist
                    The ones who understand life

Cliches, written in the book of life
           The grass is greener on the other side
                          If you fall off a horse, get back on

Instead, time hurt my back
      The world evolved around me
            And left me behind.
 
 Atlas lost his strength
        He could no longer hold the world on his shoulders
              He resisted defeat but lost in a moment of devasting despair

When life seemed unfair
                   Cruel
                               Wrong
 
Yet, 
    When life chose the deepest pit 
              My soul refused to listen 
 
My heartbeat, fast and loud, 
   continued to knock at the door of life.
       refusing to be ignored
 
Somehow,
     I lifted the world
            under my own power 
 
I found a deep power 
   within me 
      written in the history of my past 
 
My voice loudly proclaimed
        I have stories to tell
             I have memories to share

I've seen death in eye of a friend 
    I know every life comes to an end 
        I believe every seed seeks the sun 
 
Through my past 
    I will reach out to you 
       I will let you know
   
I hope I am there
   The day your world collapses
        When you lose all you love
 
I will  slowly help you
     
climb to the top
          of a new mountain 
 
The one you created 
    from the moment you were born
       The small part of the history of the world 
 
You became 
       Those historical moments defined  
                   by your name7
