    I haven't really found a title for this one. I mean,yes I can come up with some obvious ones but that has never really worked for me..This one comes close..or so I think.Anyway,here it is:

    Haunted by this immortal desire,
    Life seemed to be trudging up
    an incline..I never intended to climb..

    On my way up,
    I can't help but look around..freedom,you betray me..
    And that hollowness intensifies
    For I don't know why I'm trudging..

    I stop all at once..
    The decline seems like fun..
    Ahh the excitement of a negated journey..
    For once,I'll close my eyes and trust you,gravity.

    It is never really easy for a man,
    To choose between poetry and physics.
    And as pride and honor go battle each other..
    I cry now for the only casualty..my logic.

    I no longer trudge but walk..it is all I can change
    On perhaps what still is a wrong incline..
    And those dreams of freedom,of love and destiny..
    Abandon all but my dreams..
    And I smile as I humor myself..
    That maybe atop this mountain,
    I shall find what my heart seeks..
    That piece of land..
    That land of peace.

    Thank you!I left rhyming a while ago.I mean rhyme schemes.But I must say I'm flattered by the 'as always' part.Really.
    As for the titles you suggested..I don't really like titles giving away the theme of my poems mostly.I planned to call it 'Wrong Incline' actually.But it gives away too much.Yours were better,at least.
    I did like Zenith,though.Can make it Zen(ith).

    Aww,thank you.I've found your critiques to be very honest,so I will take that as a big compliment.
    Well,perhaps there can be in your take of this poem.

    Haha..I was hoping that gesture did not come across as a bribe or something.I'm choosy about giving reps so that was really a heart-felt gesture of happiness.As for the points,well,those were just for fun.
