ENDLESS MINUTES
Through the endless minutes and
timeless days
You lie there so still.
With nothing but the will
Of your mind driving you
As you struggle for each breath,
While praying for rest.
It's the hardest work you've ever done,
To get air into your lungs.
Through the anger, anguish and pain,
The war between body and mind goes on.
Your body begs for release, for peace,
As your mind drives the broken shell along.
Sheer determination is on your face.
You've yet to know you've lost the race.
