Fortress

This rock I must climb

It took years to get the nerve

Around in circles

My time ever purposeful

Scaling the features of regret

I must climb

For the moment is right

Push away the fear

Leave it over there

Once more around this rock

Not waiting one more second

Tick Tock

I begin the climb

And feel the earth in my hands

This journey is not simple

For this mortal man

Once I reach the summit

My future is revealed

Staring at the beauty

The successes I have created

The dreams that have come true

Standing and soaking in

The majestic view
