Run

Waver, Fall 
Crumble Doll 
Wobble, Stagger 
Collapse Mad Hatter 
Music Blasting Loud
Mind meander away 
from me as I push 
myself to the breaking 
point and back again 
I will not stop 
I will not slow down
My face is flushed 
and resembles the 
color of a coral rose 
Lean forward, don't 
look back, harder, 
catch them, advance
stride, sprint, kick 
Finish with fury 
Collapse, Crash 
Your limbs are limp 
Your lips are bleeding 
The dry blood stains 
your white teeth 
An indescribable 
feeling takes over
as your breathing 
slows and your 
temperature rises
Heart beat steady 
Legs shaking 
You've done it
