So much for the climb.
So much for going for the peak!
The dreams, endless cotton candy coated ones, right?
With success and money
And blonde men with emerald eyes
to take me to bed.
No, none of that.
Not here.
Wilderness abounds.
I am lost as much as you are found.
The wilderness may eat me.
But will you...can you protect me at all?
When I look down into the stream to drink, to forget, to rest
I only see my image
The failure
The lovely cockroaches eating at the rotten leftovers.
And I wonder; Are you one of them?
When I see you, I think yes, but the reflection says otherwise. Liar. Fake!
Where is the mountain? Where is my GLORY?!
I can't climb. Too weak. But I can look at this reflection,
drink of its waters and dream.
