Relentless Breath
One with a smiley face
One with a nervous face
One with a depressed face
One with an ignorant face
All ready to start a patience test
Like going on a unstoppable journey
Trying to complete unknown quest
In a hurry
Coach begins to adjust the volumes
Of an audio player and the sound comes out,
“The test will begin in thirty seconds.”
Then the students line up like soldiers ready to fight just about
one is ahead of another one
looking back with a teasing smile
one is holding one’s breath to run
as much as possible though it seems like 10000 mile
After surmounting the grand and gigantic hill
as high as the Eiffel tower
They look tired yet somewhat satisfied that they do not fall
into their weaknesses and even gain more internal power
Although the test starts with disgust from students
it ends with fulfilled and accomplished faces
