Down The Mountain Poem by Matthew Boisjolie

Just as life opens up,
and reveals what was once fathless,
as the tables turn due to the pressure,
of your weight on your feet,
Acid rain, combining with the loss of control,
has detererated the existance,
of the seconds that were wasted,
between the sign of numbness,
and the feeling of being aware in a blind sence,
just when the top was reached,
the reality of life sets in,
throwing you back down the mountain.
