That the alps have eaten away
Your nerves
And lied with certitude
That the apex is obscured
The dream muddled
Lately
Just because you are still here
The walls are raised
And you worshipped the doors
Seeing the the keys to the galaxies
Are lost
To those who have no need for them
The rockstar in you lies buried
But only
In figments of imagination
You are here
So you can recall
The multiple small
Victories you stopped counting
The medals you never celebrate
The variables that you defied
To be here
Take a moment
To reawaken the trooper
You are still here
And that’s a Medal
A proof
That you can still get there
