I Need Extraordinary

The pull for extraordinary that restlessly keeps me restless.
That need to do, see, experience, explore, be
Let's me no I would never be content with content.
I crave Adventure! Excitement! A challenge! A journey!
To travel to where the whole world sits at my feet
To fight against what my body says I can't do,
To rise to where i've never been before
To what i've never been before.
Scrambling for handholds,
But rocks turn to powder under my touch.
My feet slip and I think I may fall
But a smile is pulled to my lips
Of what matter is a fall?!
It will only give me an excuse to climb again! And for longer!
Adrenaline pumps through my veins
And I feel more alive then ever before!
This is what I was made for!
Not spending years in school just to wipe the noses of children at Patient First.
But reaching new summits, of mind and body, but especially of mountains
Beautiful, serene, the kind of things you will never see on a postcard!
Because something as lovely as this could never be captured by anything less than divine!
And I flounder with words like "beautiful, serene and lovely" when those words cannot comprehend what summiting a mountain truly is, let alone express it.
The achievement for which I strive is not an easy task.
A girl of my mere age and position would call this dream a fools dream, and go back to taking notes in class.
But I am speakin in generalities, and I loath to be 'general'
No matter the cost, it will be high,
No matter the pain, it might be great,
No matter the success, it may not come to be,
This is a venture I yearn to embark on!
The cost and pain are nothing in the face of a lifelong dreams!
Success is not what im after! The experiance is!
If I climb four feet or four thousand, the journey is what matters!
To be where only God has ever been
To see what only He can truly understand
To do what He has made me to do!
Rockclimbing, mountaineering, hiking, are all just names for someones search to be better than themselves.
To feel and to see and to be thrilled and to be amazed!
To reach new heights, to do what you never knew you  could!
That is why I climb!
Because I want to see the world
Because I want to experience Life as it was made to be experienced
Because I beg for adventure, excitement, adrenaline
Because I will never be the feet-on-the-ground kind girl
Because I strive for more, and could never stand being normal
Because I want to stand out
Because I want my life to stand out
Because I want to do what everyone says I can't
Because I want to do what reason says I can't
Because I need it.
I need to climb like I need air!
I need to LIVE not live
And no matter how hard I have to work to get to where I want to be,
I will be there.
