One Mistake

i pull and i strain
my muscles are tightening
the pressure is raising
temperatures blazing
why do i go through this?
going through the pain
the huts and the work
easier to just make it all stop?
then what have ive been doing
all this time that i have spent
to give it all up cause of some pain
that shall go away
the effort that i put 
and the risks that i take
now are just going to flow away
because of my one mistake
