mental journey with physical roads
The burn in my legs says i’m doing something right
striving to complete a task i never thought i would again
shut inside the brick walls for so long i forgot what it was like to just run
running as if i have nothing to go back to
as if there was no time
i just keep going
the day is just right
there’s an overcast and the rain is just starting to come
if i can just make it to the end
if i can keep making it to 'the end’
then i am invincible
if i can ignore the pain of weak legs begging me to stop
then there is nothing i can’t conquer
and in my mind this makes me stronger
not physically
a body is weak and it bleeds and dies
but mentally
a mind is a powerful thing and it never dies
it’s the support system for the soul
the soul is unbreakable and impenetrable
my soul
my mind
they have endured evils that would rip the body apart
and yet here I am
just running in the rain
and I FEEL the power
the power of living and appreciating every single breath
there was a time when I didn’t
but today
I not only appreciate every heaving breath
but every scorching step
and the satisfaction of saying
'I got up and I lived today’
