You have never felt so alive. Your once-steady heartbeat is now a trill of thumping bass notes, resonating deeply through your bones, making you shudder with every booming note.
Feel the coarse track beneath the soles of your bare feet, the familiar pain from the pinch of its rough texture allowing you better grip thus enabling you to propel yourself farther, faster, more furiously. Feel the raging heat burn slowly through your body, starting from your chest and radiating outwards, igniting your legs. Embrace the punishing ache from sore muscles and torn ligaments, inhale deeply and smell the primal atmosphere of perspiration.
Open your eyes and don’t look at your disfigured appendages. Look forward, look upwards, away from the truth, away from yourself and the chair you’re bound in, look towards your future, your hope, look at your image and who you could be.
