Climbing the tree.

Trying to heave myself into a twisty maze 0f branches and leaves as fast and as expertly as a pro rock climber while also looking for perfect handholds and footholds.Wanting to get the highest the fastest.

I'm feeling competitive,I'm feeling confident, and I'm feeling like a winner.I pull myself into the tree but suddenly I slip, I fall and I slam onto the ground in a cloud of dust as if a small bomb had exploded in the middle of the desert.I lie on the ground there, stunned.I don't try to climb it again.I've been overwhelmed, I've been defeated.
