i tried for so long, too long. too hard. i ran instead of jogged. because i wanted to get to the finish line faster. i've been running too fast for too long. and now it's too late to go back. wobbly. i'm about to fall & tip over. i ran out of breath. i gave all my power at the wrong time, so now i'm left with no power at all. i'm scared to fall completely & feel my skin scrape against the ground. but my legs won't even walk anymore & i'm still trying to run. i think so much, too much. yet, i didn't think about running out of power. i didn't plan the breaks or jogs or when i'd need to drink water. i just kept running. fighting. breathing. and staying alive. but not living. not jogging. not walking. just surviving. for too long.
