Rain falling harder and faster
No footholds in the mud covering the path
The only one going uphill
Dodging the rest in their descent
Every breath stinging deeply
Struggling, dragging heavy burden behind
Up and up, towards the top of the hill
Further and further away it grows
No one sees; no one hears
Close your eyes, take a breath
Remember what waits
Keep going

Two steps closer, one step back
Rain falling harder and faster
No footholds in the mud covering the path
The only one going uphill
Dodging the rest in their descent
Every breath stinging deeply
Struggling, dragging heavy burden behind
Up and up, towards the top of the hill
Further and further away it grows
No one sees; no one hears
Close your eyes, take a breath
Remember what waits
Keep going

This is an awesome poem,

is to have a piece of fire refined gold"

I share your sense of struggle, not because of peoples discimination, but the fact that i have incurable dyslexia and im currently at university, even when my primary school teachers said i'd be a waste of a test paper in an exam. keep up the good work.
