My feet push on tirelessly towards the goal set in front of me.
I neither know what it is nor it's purpose for being there,
Only that I must continue on towards it.
While my body pushes forward on my endless path,
part of me lingers behind.
My mind struggles to keep up with the pace
as it ponders the reason I keep going.
I feel nothing,
Neither my legs, or feet or any other part
other than my heart.
It pounds and tightens as I struggle on,
straining against my ribs.
I gasp for air that doesn't seem to reach my lungs,
and each breath grows shorter with each quick stride.
My heart tightens painfully and I feel as if the beats grow gradually less and less..
as if it should soon stop beating altogether.
Yet I believe my feet would continue on,
unable to cease their constant movement.
What is this goal that lies ahead in the mist?
What is my purpose for continuing this unstoppable progression?
This is the race of life.
This is what every living being strives for everyday of its life,
unable to rest until the goal has been reached.
What lies ahead is unknown and differs for each of us,
But we will continue to fight on
until we face our match that lays in wait at the end of the road.
Till that day let us press on towards the mysterious final battle
We will be victorious.
Feet never falter!
Heart never burst!
Mind press on, until the very end of time!
