Prose Poetry,  Very Short Story

Endurance

An ache requires endurance. Stamina. A mind-marathon that may or may not 
result in implosion.


My internal landscape ached for a decade before my body finally tried to 
self-destruct. 


But the darkness wasn’t dark enough for me, and the light was too bright. 


Still, before they returned my restless spirit back to its aching body, they 
did so with the promise that relief too required endurance, the benefit 
of which was wings.
