Runner's Weakest
September 19, 2022
Running has never seemed so complicated,
So captivating,
So alluring,
At least until I am sprinting
Fast as I can,
Running faster than ever
The anxiety that builds up
Could never compete with the utter joy I feel in the end
Nothing could
Even though I’m not even on the track
For more than ten seconds,
I still feel alive when I run
This feeling is unstoppable
Unbeatable
This, however, only lasts a few seconds
Only a few seconds,
Before it all tears down
Before everything feels like a fever-dream
Until you can’t stand up right
Until…you can’t run.

I am a sprinter in track. This poem explains how running, for me, is both freeing and painful. I have a disease in both my knees, so doing certain exercises hurts. However, I still run, jump, and play sports.
