Conquering Mountains

one step at a time
slowly trudging higher
muscles sore, steep climb
growing ever tired
 
dripping sweat, breathing heavy
don't you dare stop
gears keep turning, moving steady
inching towards the top
 
remember why you came
anticipate the view
don't think about the pain
don't let it get to you
 
you'll reach the peak at last
see its beauty on display
the struggle in the past
nothing in your way
 
confidence enhanced
you'll move on to higher heights
exploring deeper oceans
embarking on new flights
 
you've conquered your first mountain
you've stood above the clouds
just don't forget this moment
on your way back down
