Mountain 
In my climb I have made mistake after mistake 
I am falling from my climb up the mountain of life 
I look up and see what I once had flying away from me 
I now lay down at the bottom of the mountain 
Weighed down by my past failures 
My cries for help go unanswered 
Some who I have met on my climb 
Stop their climb to cheer me on from above 
Others turn their heads and continue their climb unflinching 
I now must decide whether to give up 
Or try to get back up and restart my climb all over again 
I start trying to lift the failures that weigh me down off of me 
While more failures, both new and old, continue to fall on me from above I 
have the desire to reach what I once had But, do I have the strength Soon 
it will be known
