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
