at the top of the mountain

by Antwan Fields - Aries

the view from the top is not the same as that from the bottom
where have you gone?
i ran over others on the way up
and now i am alone
the war fought within is not winnable
because i don't know who's in it
and then i realize
i treated all of you like shit on a stick
to get where i am today
the mountain that i scaled, bloodying my hands on the way up
seems to sting my hands, im injured
i refused love, i fought sentimentality
and now i have no one
my ambition cost me my love for others
and i am at the top of the mountain
but up there alone.
