Ascending
KaraQ

As I grow, I plateau.
 1
Stranded on this vast expanse of monotony
 2
I see;
 3
The craggy cliffs of circumstance
 4
I’ve stumbled up to get me here.
 5
But looking back makes me dizzy;
 6
Oh, haven’t I ever heard?
 7
It’s not prudent to look downward!
 8
Now turn my face to the trail ahead—
 9
The rocks are rough and incline, steep.
 10
Make my way up to the sharp ascent
 11
And pray someday to reach my peak.
 12
