A Climb for Nothing

Giant leap of faith needs wings

No rings or dings just reaps

Keep resolve and climb away

Lose weight and back on way

On a cliff now, afraid

No time to waste,

But the color fades

Dec-line is straight


Both physically and mentally falling

Not dramatically or emotionally

Normally swallowed juicy peaches

Now, swallowed by a dark pit of a peach


Run out of options, there isn’t

One to save from schism

Opt out of optimism

Jump now and hope your wisdom’s

Blown out, and stopped in risin’

Choke how? By words of skepticism

Lost now, no opportunism


No whys, just falls but still stuck in prism prison


Gray eyes, cliff calls,

fray ties, freefall,

Crazed minds, hears null,

Fazed ‘hind, fears all


Then everything stopped

Gravity, darkness, and deafening


Sky looks the same as the ground

we think we have to rise further

Just because our parents raised us higher

Bright light LED us without,

Any real reason


Don’t care which ward of this city

Forward or backward

Go wherever I wondered

No matter if it's awkward


Unlike others,

At least I can plant as many trees wherever

Whereas those floating higher can never.
