I started running
Across the streets, at night
My eyes open
Arms swaying back and forth
Like a train
Running on the roads
Houses passing by
Trees go behind
Soon,
Everything I see is a blur
Parks, gardens, street lights
All smudged up together
And I have a sharp pain in my side
With tiring lungs
And a wheezing heart
I force my tormented feet
To keep moving
Sweat races down my cheek
As I stop to gasp for breath
Winded and spent
I know that I am
Exhausted
