PaW #41: Draughtsman's Tale

He wasn’t prepared for this
Then again, no one ever is
There was no forewarning
No preface with which to tell him
And not an instruction manual in sight
He had to face this climb alone
For it was his mountain
An unsightly mound in the path
Built in his image
And made to resemble the difficulties he had faced
And it was his own lethargy
That got him here in the first place
No tools were provided to him
He had to do this on his own
For eventually, he would reach the peak
But it would require monumental effort
However, should he choose to scale it
His reward would be so liberating
And so, scale that mountain, he did
And his reward, he claimed
