Race Day
As I wait my turn in line
Overwhelming Excitement
Screams through my body,
Adrenaline bulges my veins
to the point they might explode
The smell of burnt rubber lingers
everywhere
Pull up to the line
I push the start button
Feel the car begin to rumble
So much power under the hood
My foot on the brake and the gas
Simultaneously
Watch the lights, nervously
My hands wet with sweat
as I grip the wheel tightly
I see RED...
My right foot stomps the pedal to the floor
My body is pushed full-force by gravity
into the buckled seat
The rumble of the motor blasts my ears
Spectators are mere dots passing by so fast
My heart leaps out of my chest
My FLIGHT is over...in a mere 7 seconds
