The LadderA Poem by A.LeeI’m climbing a never ending ladder But the higher I go, the harder I fall It doesn’t matter if I can see the end Because whenever I’m almost there You gently push me back Then wave and smile and tell me How lovely it is to be you To have everything you want And everything you need And how you’re so so sorry It must suck to be me You never hold your hand out You never throw a rope Just watch and pretend to be sympathetic I’m just some freaking joke You complain because I climb too slow Watch as the splinters cut my hands When I go faster you shrug and fold your arms Because you need to see more effort Before you’ll lend a helping hand When I stop to take a breath You say I must keep moving When I fall you just look down at me And shake your head my way Then you go back to loving you Because I just don’t matter It doesn’t matter how hard I try I’m trying to climb life’s ladder But no matter what I do I’ll never reach the top Without a little help from you © 2010 A.LeeAuthor's Note
