Chet

Careful tiptoes cross the mountain's thrashing side

One wrong step is the difference between life and death

Oh, the thrill of having your inner voice telling you no

as the adventure must continue up

Wet, blond hair whips across my forehead

A devious smile appears on my face

Lean legs smash against colossus 

Teeth chatter as temperature continues to drop

Hands strain to hold on to the wiggly rocks

 Thump! Thump! Went my racing heart

Thoughts spiraled through my mind,

I am not going to make it

Gasping for air became difficult

My eyes scanned the horizon

Dark clouds covered most of the mountains below

I look up at the peak

My hand grasp for a rock above

It is my turn to show this mountain what I am made of

Living everyday on the edge is the world to me

Instead of showing the world what I am made of,

I show myself what I am made of!

I only get to live on Earth once!
