i'm exhausted, in body and in mind. to silence my mind, i push my body under heavy weights until it shakes. my knees ache, my muscles burn, my breath gives out, but i keep pushing, trembling. every now and then, mid-push, my vision goes dark, and when i come to, the weight is already up and my mind has gone quiet...
it takes me five minutes to come back to myself, and in those five minutes i wipe away the sweat stinging my eyes and dry the wetness from my hair.
and again.
what does exhaustion mean to you?
