THE ABYSS AND THE SUMMIT
I don’t care if the top is lonely,
The abyss I came from was lonely too.
At least up here the air is thinner,
At least the view is wide and new.
Solitude is not my stranger
I’ve walked with silence long before you.
Down there I fought in voiceless darkness,
No hand to hold, no echo back.
I learned to build my own damn ladder
From every bone the void had cracked.
So if the peak gives me no welcome,
I’ll still outshine the shadows I lacked.
Call the summit cold and empty
I call it proof I made it through.
I’d rather stand alone in sunlight
Than kneel where night consumed me too.
I don’t care if the top is lonely,
The abyss I came from was lonely too.
