"HA!!!! wait, i don't get it...."


I feel like I’m climbing a staircase.

As I get farther up the staircase it gets harder to breathe.

I get tired, I want to stop and rest

You can’t stop time though,

The stairs are wobbly and the railings are long gone.

The steps creak with each

Step


I



take

Its like a spiral that continues to spin in its own circular motion.

I know if I fell off its game over.

My life lies in the hands of wooden stairs that have seen everything.

They determine how long I have till I fall or get to the top.

Im getting dizzy from the constant spinning…

I try to stop

To rest my aching legs

But I get hit by a gust of memories that knocks me back on track.

I have only just started the climb

And I hope the staircase lets me climb on.

Climb on, Live life to the fullest.
