Running

me running

Running Running……

My leg are churning,

Deep breathing, my chest in burning

Gotta quicken it up, as I lengthen up my stride.

All out, all day in agony, cuz this ain’t not joy ride.

But this is everything to me, me joy and pride

This is 110% balls to the walls.

Inside a magnificent force wants me to slow my pace.

But I’m just getting started, yes I’m just starting my race.

As I going on and on, I hurt so much inside.

Feet kill, sweat pouring down with chills, but still, a face of concentration of power of will.

So I continue running, running, running,

All the nationhood stares as if I was something stunning.

But they don’t know the pain inside.

They don’t know the agony, or how my abs hurt so bad.

I want to slow down so much, but this race is mine.

Mine and mine alone to be had.

It scorching outside, but I’m cold and wet,

With eyes burn from the sting of sweat.

In my mind all it is left right, left right, breath in breath out

I hear the people all around the town as they scream and shout.

All day long they ask “Who dat!? Who dat!?

They give my the strength to continue, although inside I agonize.

I hurt in my calves, in my chest my thighs,

I wanna cry, I wanna die.

But I go all out for times don’t lie.

I see the finish line, and I this is it.

No more running…..but sprinting!, sprinting! with every little bit I got left.

Sprinting as my feet pounds.

Whirling up so much wind it makes super-sonic sounds.

All out now, the vans in my neck stick out from the strain.

Been to hell and back, felt it’s pain.

As in and out I breath with as much air as I can compress,

My pain, my agony, is no longer something I address.

For I cross the line, look at the time,

A new P.R!

Author's Note

wrote this in like ten mintues, so don't bother to much with grammer or spelling, I am looking for some better words to imfazine the pain. Espically for where it is, for any of you runners out there! Also for your non-runners a "p.r" is a perosal record. thanks for reviews! =)

As a fellow runner (3.06 London Marathon last Sunday), you capture the feelings well. Quality write, gets my approval my friend!

As a runner, I really enjoyed this. "But this is everything to me, me joy and pride..." "Me" should be "my"; otherwise, great line. You capture the spirit and feeling of running very well. I noticed a few spelling errors, but it still makes sense.

Quick Typo Fix: second line down should be "legs" :) otherwise it sounds odd.
I love how you wrote about writing! Very nice imagery here! I also like to run, though only for fun. I'd never be good enough to compete.
