Just Keep Running
Walking back and forth, waiting at the start
Time is ticking so slow yet so fast
I feel my hands shaking, a pounding in my heart
The nervous feeling that I wont last
Deep breaths, in and out: I know I will make it
The stomach feels sick with feelings of doubt
Wanting to quit the gym, to end the pain
Pushing it side, I will not back out
Reminding myself of the reward I will gain
Deep breaths, in and out: I know I will make it
Thoughts become still, the world fades away
Joy and excitement begin to fill the mind
all my hard work, preapred for today
Another medal to the wall, a new goal to find
Deep breaths, in and out: I will make it
The countdown erupts, the start is here
I know deep down, this is my chance
I can already see the end so clear
Walking to the line, taking a stance
Deep breath, in and out: I will make it
