Insurmountable

The Mountain as Metaphor

For Struggles inside.

Note for people struggling with the haiku count: Using apostrophes to cut out syllables might make you sound like Shakespeare, and possibly more than a little pretentious, but it's a valid and legitimate cheat.

Also, counting out on your fingers helps a lot.

(Particularly long note in order to hit the 100 minimum for poems)

Note for people struggling with mental health: There is a toll-free helpline available 24/7/365. What it's called will depend on your country, and there are even some international ones.
