Stairway to heaven

Stairway to heaven

A Poem by Ochu

As the day fades i find myself thinking more and more of what Ive lost.
Perhaps it is the dying light that reminds me that all things come to an
end. The body that has been broken and the mind that has been
shattered. It becomes hard not to dwell on what sadness surround me. I
look for strength but looking for something inside myself becomes even
more impossible the harder I try. My mind is a maze of problems and
solutions that I just cant navigate so I look to others to solve my
problems. This only furthers the impossibility of helping myself. So the
decision has to be made inside myself. Do not seek help. Do not bandage
a problem instead of fix it. If a problem seems impossible, at least
try, because it might surprise you what you can do once you have
started. A thousand steps looks impossible. You might look at them and
say, I could never climb those, why even try. That state of mind is hard
to overcome. Those thousand steps would be very hard and you might not
be able to climb them, but we have will. We have inner strength that
lays dormant until it is called on. A hundred steps, can be climbed.
Once climbed a hundred more. Pushing further and further until you have
gone far past a thousand. An impossible task cant be overcome by the
imagination, only the attempt. Start small. Ten steps. Ten more. Push
hard and never give up, because if you cant climb the thousand steps, if
you don't even try. You wont climb a hundred, You wont climb ten. You
will sit at the bottom, waiting for something to help you, and if it
never comes, you will end up alone down there at the bottom while
everyone else climbs. What if i cant make it, what if i can only climb
six hundred and I cant push any further. Wont i just end up alone but
tired, worn from my attempt. Well you might find help more willing to
carry you a bit further when you have given your all and climbed what
you could.
