Why is a dream is so bright before it is alive A mountain

 

When at the top there's only going down

One becomes stuck

But cannot stay for long

It is better to go down than to be happy forever

Why does the past stay in our minds forever

When at the top of a mountain you don’t think about the journey up

Yet in life that’s all that is ever brought up

How did you get here? You’ve come so far?

Why is it a shock to them all

As if I’ve made the wrong decision

Am not worthy of what I’ve been given?

The same people who tried to trip you on the way up

Come running to talk

Fake smiles and words are common

Why did you chose this?

Are you feeling ok?

I was until you asked

And now

Now I just want to get away

I don’t care if I fall all the way back down

You say I’ve reached the top

But I’m not even close

I’ve taken a jump forward and not fallen down

The only reason you care is because you’re on the ground
