Mountain

Why do we all focus on the top, the peak, the climax. There is so much bellow this unreachable point, no matter how you look at it. Bellow the surface or simply on the path to get up there, or to get down. I fear that this highly desireable position is full, as not two objects can take up the same space. So where does this leave us, the outcast? Among the ledges and plateaus? Do we reach the bottom in an avalanche or in a rock slide? Which is worse? Now back to those ledges. There must be people at varying degrees or levels I mean. Those closer to the top. Those on the ascend and those on the descend. Tell me who is which. Tally them and get back to me. I'm quite tired of having to differentiate between the two because I need to know those who are on the way down, either so I can save them or so I can join them and finally reach the very bottom, that which is shared with so many before me. For now I think I should try to reach the top, if only for a little while. Maybe get a little momentum going so to push me up the shear cliffs that await. I have no clue the altitude, but this doesn't matter. It's easier to breath up there anyways.
