My lungs screamed out for mercy,
Mouth gasping for air,
It’s never enough.
Not yet.
A bit more.
Just a bit.
I can do this.
I hear ringing in my head,
Sweat running down my face,
Blood running to my cheeks.
Eyes burning with determination.
Can I slow down?
I feel my legs about to give out.
No! I need to beat this.
I refuse to let it catch up to me.
Limits were made to be tested.
Faster, even faster.
Higher, I feel the burn.
My legs, my lungs,
my body-
screaming for me to stop.
I whisper-
“you can do this”
“just a bit more”.
Just Lin.
