The air is thin
 
I could suffocate 
 
I am alone 
 
Rushing through the fog
 
I ascend 
 
A light 
 
I may have imagined
 
Awaits me
 
I can only disappoint myself if I don't make it
 
I am gasping 
 
Alone
 
Striving
 
Alone
 
Everything up there is for me
 
Before you arrive 
 
No one knows where you are
 
No one questions
 
There are no eyes on you when you are down there
 
Alone
 
I hope to never meet my destination
 
I wish to run for as long as I can
 
Alone
 
No one and nothing to weigh me down
 
Alone
 
No excuses
 
Alone
 
Everything is for me
 
I am alone
 
This is for me.
