Everlasting climb

I tell myself its not long now

until I reach the top

it will be worth the trek

the shortness of breathe

too see the view from up there

I dream of what its going to feel like

close my eyes and feel the breeze

to take of my bag

let go of the weight on my back

and breathe

The last few steps are bittersweet

the boundary between pain and ecstasy

sweet relief

as I reach the summit finally

this is where I am supposed to be

Those moments as I take in the view

are the ones I've chased my entire life

the hard work has finally paid off

dark times drift away

replaced with pride and joy

But then the moment passes

I get bored of the view

I search for another summit

feeling restless and jaded

and then i look up and see it  

A promise of happiness

another height to reach

I lift my bag on to my back

count to three

and climb
