You Thought You Were On Top Of The World Poem by Michael v d B

you thought you were on top of the world
but then you saw a bigger mountain coming closer
you want to climb that mountain
you are standing on what used to be the top of the world
you look at the other mountain
you look down but you can't see the ground
you take a few steps back
you think by yourself is it worth it
is it worth it to take the risk?
yes it's worth risking everything
you run to the egde of the mountain and you jump
your diving into that what you can't see
your falling and it feels so good
you think about the bigger mountain
but suddenly everything changes
you start to see what is under the mountain
it is a sea
a sea of pain
you are coming closer and closer
and you can't stop
you just keep falling
untill you hit the water
the pain rushes trough your body
you can't swim for a few seconds
because of all the pain that you feel
you are lying in a sea of pain
you can swim now but everything hurts
you search for the mountain that you want to climb
but the mountain is fading
the mountain was a lie
you are lying in the water and thinking why?
why did i risk what i had?
why did i jump of the top of the world?
why did i risk everything?
and you keep thinking
you are still lying in the water
you feel all the pain
but you don't care about the pain right now
you keep searching for the answers to your questions
but you can't find them
the pain starts to get unbearable
you start to swim to the mountain that still is the top of the world
but you have to start over
you have to climb the same mountain again
just because the other mountain was a lie
all that pain that you feel
all the time that you wasted
you have wasted everything because of a lie
you are getting closer to the mountain
the mountain that used to be your life
the mountain that was everything
you finally get to the mountain
you try to make a fire
because your clothes are wet
your body is weak and cold
suddenly you see someone getting closer
it is your best friend
your friend has something in it's hand
those are clothes
your clothes
you left them on top of the mountain
you start to put on your dry clothes
and you see a fire
your friend made that fire
your friend knew that this was going to happen
your friend told you many times but you didn't listen
but now the pain fading
you are starting to get warmer
soon you will be strong enough to climb the mountain
but this time you know that if you fall of the mountain
that your friend is ready to help you
