Lest we forget...

You must stand the cold. You must stand the emptiness. You must control your mind. You must ignore the ache. You must run until your lungs burst into a deafening explosion. You must not stop running unless you are razed to the ground, jerking your heart out in alarming rates of failure, for you cognise that it never stops unless it hurts, because it does hurt and you do suffer, yet you had once known that your strength never had any limits, and it never will, but if you open your wide eyes, unload your gun, leave your knife, you will learn how to think on your feet, defend yourself with your own weapon, and fight for what you want - not for what you fear.
