Running

Hit the track. and run till the end.

A gun screams your name.

You escape at high speed.

Run.

Run.

Run.

Faster now.

 

You want to stop.

You body cries for a break.

But you can’t.

You can’t give up.

You don’t give up.

You slow.

 

The turns keep you rounding.

A constant run in circles.

You go,

Trying to pass that one person ahead

You race for the finish

 

There’s no more speed

No more strength

No more breathe in your throat

A scathing thirst stings each inhale

You can’t stop now

Your pride is against it

You mind is screaming to move on

 

Finally it comes.

The moment of the race

You and that other

Hit the turn

200 meters to go

150. You bring it up a notch.

100. Faster! you think.

 

You try to sprint.

Although nothing is left

One arm runs the length of your torso

The other follows suit.

You legs length their stride

Your feet push on forward

Just a little more, and it’s done

 

50 meters left.

You need to stop

You want to stop.

You slow just a bit,

Screaming inside you need to go

You need to finish

You need to find that last spark.

 

 

Finally you reach it

No air in your lungs,

You huff

You’re tired

And thirsty as hell

But that rush isn’t gone

Your just ran you race,

Chasing your goal.

Scoring your prime time
