Run

Location

crunch thump thump 
 
my sneakers hitting the ground
the sound of concrete and gravel crunching 
 
crunch thump thump
 
sweat dripping down my back
it's salty taste bubbling on my lips
 
crunch thump thump
 
my thighs rub aganist each other as i gain speed
speeding up
my hands pumping the air
 
crunch thump thump
 
my breath starts to get heavy
short, staccato sounds 
 
crunch thump thump
 
the endless thoughts bubbling in my brain are pushed away
left behind with each step i take
 
crunch thump thump
 
running. 
my escape from reality
my high.
