Why do I run?





Why do I run?

The mile long track,

Seemingly smooth

And yet

Filled with hurdles

At every block

Why do I run?


For that ten second race,

I train

For years, for days,

Not counting the hours

That I spend

Pulling muscles till they are sore,

Breaking bones till they heal no more,

And yet I run.


That sweat, that blood

Those tears, those fears

That I chose to overcome 

Just so that I may run

Is that a mere illusion?


There's no medal at the end

No one to hold me if I fall

Must I run? 

Or should I just stop in my tracks?

Mid way, give up,

And choose not to run at all.
