Finish Line
May 23, 2018
Am I prepared for this?
I have trained four years for this moment.
Am I nervous?
I am trying to not show every section of my body unwillingly trembling.
Am I trying?
I am moving my feet faster than my thoughts or time.
Am I still nervous?
All of my fear has converted into adrenaline, pumping with each stride I take.
Am I going to finish?
The last 100 meters the fight I have never wished for, but I keep going.
Did I do it?
The cross of the finish line runs every ounce of strength back into my body.
I did it.
