Mount Celeste

A lone girl tryin to mount Celeste
despite feelin tired and stressed.
Can’t step forward and can’t go back
like mind has skipped and lost track.
Eyes water body says no
still she knows she has to go.
Living on the edge no guarantee
just the wish to one day feel free.

Attempts to dodge or look away
only lead to mountains way.
Her whole body aches for a restart
hear whispers clear as crystal from her heart.
Now she can no longer deny it’s there
tryin to girl up and act despite fear.

Can no longer fake and be formal
remember when she could laugh and feel normal.
A memory plays without power of emotion
yet it seems to have all of her devotion.
Think she got some soft summer memory
of the sweet taste of fun and strawberry.
Is it just something she wants to see
so dreamy and foggy like it’s all illusory

When you arrive at Celeste
you face your ultimate test.
Even if you hesitate or act shy
you will learn every time you die.
If you think you can enjoy the ride
the cliffs will shatter your pride.
You can just be diligent and do your best
cause no one hears you call on Celeste.

Face mirror and mind lit
persona break and part split.
Give chase goin for your neck
so you run without looking back.
Try to stand apart and put it to rest
but it’s part of you so you just feed a beast.
Then you get humble enough to unite
and find a force that joins your fight.

Panicky guy with stuff everywhere
cant help but assist and care.
Backfired into a darting daze
when a munchin piccolo gave chase
Celeste says handle what’s yours
even if you feel their pains force.
The wise old bat
made you realize that.

When you stand on the summit
thinkin you have done it.
You only got a good peek
you still not found the core you seek.
Cause Celeste is deeper than your eyes see
so it can shape you to what you have to be.
But first you need to turn side
and face the parts you shied.
