I Just Don’t Have It Today…
I can’t do it today. The cart is heavy, the road is burning hot, and I’m running barefoot again. Not that the barefoot part bothers me , I’ve spent my whole life like this. And being naked? Honestly… that just means the wind can cool the sweat on my skin.
But the pulling… Today it feels impossible. My muscles shake, my breath won’t settle, and I’m dragging the harness more than it’s dragging me. What I’m really afraid of is that the handler will get tired of watching me struggle… and reach for the whip.
Not to punish. Just to remind me to move. But right now… I just don’t have anything left to give.
