Finish Strong
Finish strong
said the man
with his hand
on the speed
controlling each step
as I controlled my fall
Thirty seconds
You can do it
Imagine how proud you’ll feel
but I only felt
exhaustion
Thoughts
Some people seem to love running. I am not one of those people. It has always been, and will always remain, an effort but now I run slower. Taking my time and avoiding injury. Maybe I can make this controlled fall last.
