I seek
(you cannot find)
I try
(you will not succeed)
I climb
but the hill I walk upon
is an escalator going the wrong direction
the faster I walk,
the faster it moves...
One step forward
is really one step backward,
pain follows accomplishment
just like cause and effect.
Success is wrapped in failure
the cloak that surrounds all that
I do.
I seek
(the pit that is not filled with despair)
I try
(but it feels like it's too late)
I climb
up the hill
just to find that
the treasure I seek
is a snake's lair.
