Arms are pumping fast with force.
Tired legs run on through pain.
Mind is going all insane.
Memories race past my eyes.
Something I cannot disguise.
Years of old passing me by.
Oh, how I begin to sigh.
Taken back to the early years.
Brothers haunting me with fears.
They would chase me down the street.
But now they are oh, so sweet.
I can hear my father's voice.
"Give it your all, it's your choice!"
He would yell, but always care.
Wanting me to take a dare.
Coaches giving talks to me.
Explaining all I need to be.
To put my mind to the test.
To always try for my best.
I am awake from my dreams.
This is real, hidden it seems.
Like a beast stuck in a cage.
Yearning freedom from this rage.
I feel a breeze coming by.
Someone passing as I die.
I must press on, start the fight.
Pump my arms, begin the flight.
Line has come, and I am done.
Oh my gosh, somehow I won.
