 No matter how hard I banged the tortoise shell; it simply refrained to split, 

 
No matter how vehemently I struck the human tooth; it just didn't chap at its edge, 
 
No matter from how high I threw the coconut down; it didn't display even a single scratch on its shell, 
 
No matter how tenaciously I crushed the human skull; it simply didn't show any 
signs of snapping apart, 
 
No matter how passionately I hammered the elephant tusk; it still remained as stoical as white ice, 
 
No matter how stubbornly I boxed the punching bag; it didn't gasp the slightest; even after infinite punches of mine, 
 
No matter how ruthlessly I kicked the diamond ceiling; it still seemed to have  retained its perpetual shine, 
 
No matter how many harpoons I shot at the shark; it still came back hostile and alive from beneath the waters, 
 
No matter how much pressure I exerted on the spring; it still rebounded back with thunderbolt velocity, 
 
No matter how viciously I thrashed then whip against the wall; it still didn't seem to have lost; even an iota of its sting, 
 
No matter how many holes I drilled in the base of the iron ship; it simply 
didn't appear to sink, 
 
No matter how hard I tried to twist the bars of the prison; they kept standing like a fortress in front of my eyes, 
 
No matter how resiliently I tried to control the storm waters from rising; they kept swelling up; evolving  into a flood like never before, 
 
No matter how fervently I tried to chew sweets of steel; the entire armory of my teeth broke like frigid matchsticks; but the biscuits retained their silvery polish, 
 
No matter how badly I pierced the dinosaurs eye; it didn't blink the slightest; shone brilliantly under the sun, 
No matter how wildly I squelched the walnut in my palms; it simply didn't alter its shape the slightest, 
 
No matter how insanely I hammered the walls of my conscience; it simply 
didn't surrender its ideals, 
 
No matter how pertinently I tried to control my dreams; they kept growing relentlessly; fantasizing about the entire universe every second, 
 
And No matter how doggedly I tried to break my heart; it throbbed even more violently for the person it loved; cried incessantly for the girl it wanted to imprison in the vice like swirl of its romance; forever & ever & ever.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
