The Runner
I run to clear my mind
Of life’s extremely stressful day
Freeing my thoughts of all
Negativity and the clogging of my brains
I run to cleanse my soul
Sweating out all toxins and impurities
Rejuvenating my body’s energy
Taking it to new heights
I run to clear away all confusion
That’s deep in my thoughts
An replace them with positivity
So, the good energy will soak inside
I run to feel the breeze upon my face
And feel the whispers of the wind
Stroking my body as if
It was coming from someone’s touch
Heat, sweat or cold cradles me as
I pick up my running pace
According to the seasons
While I smell the freshness or
Staleness of the air’s divine
With each step I take
I begin to pound out my fears
And disappointments
As I run, I take control of
Each breath I take
To survive each path I take
In life, as I run
