My lungs are on fire
Spreading to my heart
Burning as I choke on cold air
Lighting up the pain
Crisp morning, sun shining
Absorb it all – feel it all
Birds singing spring songs
Anticipation hangs heavy
Legs keep carrying me ahead
No reason to turn back
Push… push until I drop
Fight the fear and hurt
Endorphins and pride
Swelling up with my fingers
Clearing my mind
Reminding me who I am
What I deserve
Lungs are on fire…
So is my drive
So is my desire
So am I
