Push

Round and round,
moving like Obree.
Breathe, lean in, take the punishment.
It's only a few moments, a breath in a circling hour.
They don't get it. The mind plays tricks.
Keep moving.
Pedal harder.
The world will blur.
The pain will melt.
The people will fade.
No matter what they say, you keep moving.
No one will understand....
The shadows move into your eyes as you lean against the wind.
Finish.
The hour ends...and the demons come with the night.
Push back. Lean in.
Lean in....
