Today I climbed a hill. Tomorrow, I will stand on the top of a mountain, never looking down, only looking forward and all around. The view from the top of the mountain I seek will be exactly what I choose it to be, and the only question I have to ask now is, are you coming with me?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m ready now. Unafraid. Confident and secure, both in who I am and where I want to be. The only question I have to ask now is, are you coming with me?<\/p>\n
The mountains we all must climb, are merely images in our mind. We create how tall, how narrow, how wide, how rocky our path, how steep our climb.<\/p>\n
The choice is ours and ours alone. We can make our mountains our fortress, our prison or our home. I want you to
\nclimb this mountain and stand at the top, wild, free. The only question I have to ask now is, are you coming with me?<\/p>\n
In the past I built my mountain upside down, and when I look around, all around, I found I\u2019d dug myself a hole, so big so wide, deep in my soul, a hole so darkened buried me, and hid my light from the world, you see. Then there you were; you saw me shining, when inside I felt like dying, and you held me up on my pedestal, and with your love, helped me fill this hole.<\/p>\n
A hole is a mountain turned around, and you came and turned mine upside down, and when I began to climb out of
\nthe hole, the struggle to rise made me cold. I shut myself down, so I could climb, and locked you out of my heart, my mind. I know that in my ascent, I should have held on tight to you, but I was scared, and you showed me truth. I simply didn\u2019t know what to do.<\/p>\n
Once again standing on solid ground, flat now, no mountain turned upside down, the hole was filled, but I still had to climb, and you couldn\u2019t wait for me to make up my mind. So you ran, and I watched you drift away, screaming inside, \u201cI want you to stay\u2026\u201d but the words formed only in the echoing recesses, and never touched my mouth or came out my lips.<\/p>\n
I should have told you; I should have shared, and let you know how much I cared. I never should have let you down,
\nand I know I did, when inside of me were locked tight all the feelings I hid. You needed someone to show you they were strong, someone unafraid to admit they were wrong.<\/p>\n
Well, baby, I tell you now, I was so wrong, and I have loved you all along. Through all my darkness you helped me see, just who I am and who I was meant to be.<\/p>\n
Mountains are built by piling dirt, compiling all the pain and converting the hurt, into something that makes us remember only the things that lead to forever.<\/p>\n
So while you were gone, I built this hill, and I have climbed it alone through sheer force of will, and today I am standing here, standing here still, looking out, not down, at the things that are real.<\/p>\n
You are real, so very real to me, and from the top of my mountain I know you will see, so I\u2019m asking you now…
\nAre you coming with me?<\/p>\n
Today I climbed a hill. Tomorrow, I will stand on the top of a mountain, never looking down, only looking forward and all around. It is with you I choose to be.<\/p>\n
