For The Rush
September 19, 2016
Your pulse quickens
It is the only reason you continue on
That and if you don’t you will fall to your death
You are called a daredevil, an extreme sports man
But really you do it for the rush
The rush of adrenaline
The feeling of immortality
You clime Mt. Everest without a mask
You dive Marianas Trench without air
You do whatever you can to escape the truth
If you stoped
You would be nothing
But if you don’t stop you will die
Not because you did nothing but because you did something
Something stupid or amateurish
For the rush
You lived and died for the rush
