2000 Meter Trial

2000 meter trial
stressing all day
instead of focusing 
in class I begin to pray
plugged into my music
I find that one song to play
just to get into my zone
sitting in the corner silently
in class as I am not known

My life is taken over by 4 digits
all the anxiety 
why I ask
it is the feeling and thought
that reminds me all the pain
I'm about to face

its time to fly and die
at the end I fall and cry
that's it perfect mental strength
pain is bliss, today I taste blood
tomorrow I smell victory
for I do it with aggression
with all the insanity
as there will be no sign
of humanity left in me
with profanity
