#492 On My Private Mountain

This here is 
My own private mountain to climb 
And no one else can 
See the steep slopes ahead
The twists and turns that await

This here is 
My own quiet struggle to fight
Against the tide
Against the herd
Against the voices in my own head
And no one else can
Hear the self-doubt
The gnawing sense of futility 

This here is
My life 
And no one else can
Live it for me.
