Swallow the Pain Let your legs push you onward
feel the burn you put yourself through
suck breath hard
and feel it being sucked out of you
notice your mouth dry
make a wish for water
try to ignore the knotted snake in your stomach
and push a little bit harder
feel your heart beat
but never feel beat
listen
as your feet
like pistons
revolve endlessly
think you’re in control
of the machine
don’t let your pain by yourself be seen
don’t choke
Swallow the pain
or you will be broke
Maintain
