The Top Poem by Dorsey Baker

She has climbed the mountain
she is at the top now
she has smashed
the glass ceiling
no boyfriend
no husband
no children
she has made the
sacrifice
for her career
but loneliness
hangs over her
head
like a very dark cloud
she is proud
of her success
but she feels so lonely!
and unhappy
now she is wishing for
some of what she has
missed
she longs for a husband
and a family life
now she knows how a man
feels
when he climbs the mountain
and is on top
the top can sometimes
be a very lonely place
to be!
