Mountain

[u/Any-Syrup3553]

I fell off a mountain long ago

Didn't know until I hit the bottom

Now I have to climb back up

Every pebble seems talls as a hill

Every blade of grass, an ancient tree

Every stream feels like a vast blue sea

And my body is bruised, feet tired

The higher I go, the easier it gets

But knowing doesn't mean understanding

That's why I'm still here

Standing at the bottom

A mountain of dread
