Pushing Limits


Pushing limits.
 
Pain. Adversity. Drenched in sweat.
 
Hair falling free around my face,
 
 Filled with affliction and discomfort.
 
Chin held high in defiance of failure, 
 
Teeth gritting through the agony.
 
Core throbbing with a depth of concentration.
 
Extremities tingling, losing vigor.
 
Intense focus despite the strain,
 
Body contracting, holding on for dear life.  
 
Improving, inspiring with initiative everyday,
 
Pushing limits
