oh, sweet lungs, don't fail me now.  Your burning has turned into fear.  Drills me in my every step; I'm moving quick, but you're always at my heels.  Just one more breath, I beg you please, just one more step, you are not weak.  My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive.  Breathe, don't you want to breathe?  I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.  My capillaries scream.  There's nothing left to feed on.  My body needs a reason to cross that line.  Will you carry me there one more time?  Steady, lungs, don't fail me now, I feel you bursting, but you won't let me die.  Fill me up with every step; I'm feeling sick, but I'm leaving it behind.  Just one more breath, I beg you please, just one more step, you are not weak.  My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive.  Breathe, don't you want to breathe?  I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.  My capillaries scream.  There's nothing left to feed on.  My body needs a reason to cross that line.  Will you carry me there once more?  I have reason to believe that I have victories to taste.  I can feel them on my teeth, upon my lips, and in my chest.  I can roll them on my tongue:  they are more subtle than defeat.  I feel the tension in my lungs and every move is fuled by my resolve to breathe.  Don't you want to breathe?  I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need.  My capillaries scream; there's nothing left to feed on.  My body needs a reason to cross that line.  won't you carry me there one more time?
