drawn to the mountain

drawn to the mountain

like a teenager to a ipod,

to a txt, to a tweet

to a facebook profile

peer pressure to conquer familiarity,

fears and secrets,

our mountains demand conquering.

like a daughter to her mother for her pregnancy,

like a son to his father for his sexuality.

with every download and character typed

message placed and timeline photo shared,

our tormentors are demons 

released from our mountains,

as companions together — for

mothers are more than friends,

fathers more than bankers
