I Climb The Mountains Outside

The mountains we climb.
The mountains in our mind

Everyone’s Mountain is individual
Creating a life that is entirely original
Often feels overwhelmingly unbridgeable

This creates the mountains we climb
The mountains in our mind

Small pebbles of interactions accumulated
Disipoitmenets of events unemulated
The passing of time unstimulated
The numbing of pain uncommunicated

This creates the mountains we climb
The mountains in our mind

Traumas brought from past generations
Wrapped in a need for validation
Your minds act of segregation
From the greater population

This creates the mountains we climb.
The mountains in our mind

The questioning of our worth
Brought on since birth
It should feel as solid as earth
But laughed away with other’s mirth

This creates the mountains we climb.
The mountains in our mind

I face myself in these hills.
I refuse to numb myself with pills.
Rewriting memories thaw, against past chills.
With courage, I create myself in these hills.

This is how I climb the mountains in my mind
