Young

flushed cheeks cool wind forcefully pushing Running running running Trying to keep up the pace Pumping myself up to go on Just a little more One more lap and you’ll be done Sweat dripping from my reddened cheeks Feeling the heat rising from my skin Intensity motivating every push The loud thump of my heartbeat in my ears Breathing forcefully taking over me Needing more time to calm Needing more time to ground myself Then realizing I’m here right now Here I am in this moment Nowhere else This is mine Pure happiness

Very evocative, beautifully penned! I would categorize this as a "free verse" form instead of ABC... but nonetheless, it is an excellent poem! Great work! ;)
