To climb

Your walls, so tall
Stretched high above the fog
My eyes squint tight
I hold my knots
My nose leaks snot
Still I can't spot the top
I know it not
If this gold I want
This goal I sought
Is real
Still it's worth it just to fail
Even if each pull and tug and heave
Each cold breath of air I wheeze
is futile
A voyage to a door that's closed and locked
Still it's worth it just to knock
To climb, to try
To test my self against that open sky
To grasp for love, to close my eyes
And dream of reaching your last block
To crack your walls
And vanquish them
Replace them as your safe haven
And maybe such a dream could never happen
Still it's worth it just to fall
And let my body decorate the bottom
A tribute to my passion
So others could see something great awaits
On the other side
