Jhonny

San Francisco • 2018

  • I used to rely on the hardness and the safety it gave me until, it disappeared.
    Now, I rely on my fingers who keep me safe and stable.
    One slip and I fall to my doom.
    Deep down inside I am scared, but on the out I try my best to show my bravery.
    I continue to climb this endless mountain
    my foot slips
    my fingers weaken
    they are my only hope
    my fingers start to slip
    I swing my foot in one last desperate attempt of survival
    it’s not enough.
    Fear grips my heart
    I fall
    I snap out of it with the instructor calling my name
    “Jhonny are you ready for the mountain climb?”
