Run

scorching heat piercing my skin
 sweat from my body leaping off me as if afraid
 i keep going
 one step after another
 can i get through this
 i start shaking
   my body's akin
 i keep going
 i see the end coming
 blurred vision taking over
 friends cheering me on
 pushing myself pass the limit
 i keep going
 a few more feet i hear from the crowd
 i cross the line
 i am finished
 but....i keep going

A right nice piece which expresses so well the moments of pushing to the limits and surpassing them pushed on by sheer exhilaration and friends... thanks karen
