it's just the way it feels.
when i'm running, i'm not apart of the human race
i'm just me.
i don't run to get away. ok sometimes i do
i run to think
i run to feel revived
i run to forget pain and
i run to remember to hold on
i feel some days just completely lost nad when i do, my running shoes and shorts are waiting and ready.
i've never had to hunt for them. they're always in the same place.
i run to break my time
i run to break my limits
to go beyond what my body wants
so i tell myself
"stop now and stop life. you don't need that road."
i'll stop for a breather and then keep going.
i've been through two accidents both of which doctors told me i wouldn't be able to run again.
i cried and after rehab,
i returned that day to the track alone and started again.
it felt as natural as breathing.
second nature.
i still run everyday.
i can't not run.
if i don't, i feel weird and can't sleep.
but the reason i run,
it's the freedom i get from it.
