The Dying Wish

by Catrina a Taurean - Not entered

my diurnal hike entwines me daily
into the overpowering forces
of uniformness and invariability.

as my weakened foot slips
the mountains crumble
and I am inevitably crushed 
by the boulders of fear.

my diminutive voice as it screams
for help is not heard,
for the wind has ensared it

my frame loses it's strength,
my body becomes limp,
and I see what I am:  nothing
more than a carcass strewn onto the rocks.

I now realize what I could have done,
but I no longer have the opportunity.
should I have taken the step?
placed myself in vulnerability to get my 
well deserved moment of glory?

or was I right secluding myself from the world?

Reason for writing:

    
to let suppressed feelings escape
