I never thought I’d become anything
like what I am today.
I always hoped some force of nature
would illuminate the way.
But now I see there’s no such thing as fate
I am the sum of the choices I make.
High atop the steepest hill
for miles around,
looking down with fear and dread.
I was just about to fall,
I could no longer bear the weight
when you built me a sled.
I never thought I needed anyone
to keep my fears at bay.
I always fought to hold my head up high
when you turned and walked away.
I never thought I’d be afraid
of being alone when my soul decays.
High atop volcanic rock
on crumbling ground;
my head was heavier than lead.
It could’ve been the altitude,
I was fading either way,
when you built me a sled.
