my light

[Vistaldust]

I walked a ladder up to the light
the light was shining and amazing
i walked the ladder up to this so wanted sight
and all the time up i was gazing

The ladder moaned under me but i didn't care
i knew that all this pain will be gone when im up there
the ladder pleaded me to stop
but i ignored its sad sob

I'm almost up, up there
taking my beautiful light
of happiness i'm grabbing my hair
and than i see its hellish fire and not my amazing sight

The first stanza is a bit mundane. But I love "the ladder moaned under me but I didn't care." It is a beautifully written allusion to your determination in the climb. The last stanza gives a nice surprise that shows what we think will make us happy can often be quite wrong. Someone else can explain it better than me, but I think the last stanza can also be packaged a little better.
