Her legs lay limp against a log
Her face, bright red
Heart pounding
Lungs struggling to slow down
Never has she been able to go so far
Never has she been able to push herself without criticism
It was in this place, on the mountain, that she could
No one around besides the trickling stream that she had to walk across
No one around besides the birds that seemed to mock her
No one around besides the trees, dancing in the breeze
She felt free on the mountain
She grabbed a bottle from her bag
Took a sip, then continued
She had already gone so far that it would be a shame to go back
She felt as if she owed it to herself to make it
And she did.
She did make it up the mountain.
She did reach her goal.
She did achieve her wish.
She did.
