UphillA Poem by blackbelief
I remember,
I rode my bicycle uphill and decided to pedal to the top. I remember exhaustion and pain, some more of it and the numbness that came after it. I remember not having the strength to spit when sweat got in my mouth, because any moment of not breathing meant I would die. I remember telling myself to stop, not really understanding why I was doing it, cursing my legs that had gone numb but wouldn't stop pedaling. I remember seeing stars in broad daylight before collapsing in the dirt, not being able to walk or see for a short few moments. I remember reaching the top of the road.
