Some people love to run. Love the pull of their muscles and the heavy beat of their feet. They like the pain that they get after a run. They, though, are weird. I've never liked running. I guess I did when I was younger, when I didn't know that I sucked. Now I don't run unless my gym teacher makes me. Normally after a lap and a half of our goal posts my knees start hurting. A hurt that makes my entire legs feel like jell-o. After that comes the pain in my side that feels like my stomach has curled itself into a ball. My head starts pounding and my eyes water. The wind blows into my face making it even harder to continue. The wind is always cold but it never seems to cool my body down while I'm running. 4 laps in and I feel like dieing. Once I finish I collapse onto the grass and feel the wind that I couldn't before and I listen to the fast beat of my heart. I like that part actually. Listening to my heart beat. Just lying there. It feels peaceful. Then people remind me that you have to stand after you run to keep the energy or something. All I can think is "What energy?"


Yeah I know it's not a poem but I really don't give a crap. This is actually how I'd rather write.
And Sorry I didn't write 3 days in a row I didn't have access to a computer.
