The cliff
It started off as a short journey
Yet I continued on uncertain of my destination
Life’s jagged edges pierced my palms
As I continued to grope the cliff
The more I seemed to accomplish
The steeper the climb became
Although I continued to be careful
My feet would slip at times
My grasped tightened as I continued to climb
Many would gaze on displaying admiration, thinking: “what gives her such drive? ”
Perseverance whispers in my ear reminding me to strive
Reminding me that once I reach the peak
I’ll receive my prize
