I Am A Runner
I am a runner
I wonder the distance left for me to reach my goal
I hear my breath elongate as the size of my lungs extract and contract
I want to reach the finish line knowing I will faint like a drama queen
I am a runner, I am a runner
I pretend to soar like an eagle
I feel the swoosh of the wind hit my face in tender blow propelling me on
I touch the track in anticipation, rapidly readying myself to release my speed
I worry if I might stop before the end, or end before the stop
I cry when the dust from my opponents jumps in my face
I am a runner
I understand the suffering needed to complete my task
I say that winning is when your trying your best, doing your best without winning isn’t a win
I dream to be faster than Usain Bolt
I try to calm myself, pace myself, challenge myself
I hope to obliterate my enemies in the race like a fierce lion chasing after prey
I am a runner, I am a runner
