Weak as i am Weak as i have become i will never let you win. I am tired and anoyed. In the distance i hear the boys singing 100 bottles of beer on the wall. In front i hear Damon encourging me, helping us. Ak behind me keeping me going.

It is so steep i don't know if i can make it. It's all so hard. So scared, so weak. You're walking a straight bit of mountin the only way it's faceing is up. Rocks tumble, leaves fall. You know you must continue.

You can see the top now just a bit further. You think. Your emotion wirling you can't believe it. You reach it and realise this isn't the top.

But you know you'll get there. Sometime.........

The ending is very positive and i like that. You did well on this.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I thought the ending was sarcastic... I got a hostile note from all of this thing, for some reason.  But it really appealed to me, great job!

the thing with this is i did this. it was one of the hardest days on camp last year. we got to what we thought was the top and it ended up there was like another 200m or something to go. this proberly doesn't seem like much but it was with a 20kg pack on your back when you've been walking all day.
