Too Hard for Too Long

It has been too hard for too long.
Bent over
Feet hurt
Dirt under my fingernails

It has been too hard for too long.
Chest pain
Lungs hurt
Sweat in my eyes

It has been too hard for too long.
Muscle strains
Head aches
Dust in my mouth

Step and step and step and step
Walking towards the sun
Walking towards the light
That peeks from behind the clouds
