Dear Running,                                                                                       


It’s May 13th, 2018                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Middle school track and field

Ecc championship


I’m sitting in my blocks

Awaiting for the call

But, my mind

Is not here

It’s in North Vernon Indiana


When I first found you

It was a cool day

Just playing around in the fields

Playing tag with the cousins

“I see him”

They yelled

I ran began to run

Through the corn stalks

I could feel as if the world

Had stopped

I could feel……

The wind in my face

I felt like superman

Flying through the sky


Runner’s take your mark!


I snap back

I feel

Well, nothing


SET!!!


I got up into my stance

Felt like

the longest second of my life


BANG!!!


The sound of the gun

Rang in my head

Like the Liberty Bells

Once did


I came out of the blocks

I feel like a

Feather in the wind


I can only say

I love you and you

Give me

That adrenaline

That I love

THANK YOU!!!
