pretentious

one night, i scaled the highest hill
to see what i could see,
to ask the stars and gods their will,
to see what i'd grow to be.
but when, at last, i reached the top
and turned to look around,
i found myself where i had started,
back upon the ground.
fate that night decieved me,
or worse, 'twas someone else,
for, thinking i could know those things
and live,
i decieved myself.
