Mount Everest

I want to climb mount everest with nothing but myself. 
I want to take on the mountain.
I want to feel the cold rocks as I put my fingers in the nooks.
I want to cry as I hoist myself up the steep slopes.
By the time I get to the top I will feel like I'm about to die. 
But at least I will have done it.
I want to climb mount everest even if it takes me a lifetime. 
It will be a lifetime of success. 
The mountain will be my life, my provider, and perhaps my death.
I take the challenge presented to me by mount everest. 
As of today, mount everest is my enemy.
But perhaps tomorrow, it will be my savior.
