Why bother...

I am climbing this steep wall

in this dark hole

Cold water flowing down the walls

My hands are stiff from cold



The echo of my heartbeat bounces between the walls

Spiders crawling at my back

and there is nothing to do about it



The darkness is blinding me

I can not see anything

My muscles are tired

soon they will stop working

I've climbed a long time now

without sleep and strength

if I do not get to rest soon my hands will let go





Suddenly it stings in my eyes

It is something that dazzles me

I'm approaching the light up there

I can feel the warmth of the sun



I get too excited by the thought that soon everything will be fine

I am hurrying upwards

I stop being careful

When I am finally almost there a stone comes loose

My foot loses its grip and I fall down

further and further down



Eventually I reach the bottom with a bang

I will never get up from here



It took years to climb up

but only seconds to fall down...
