The Trail
The wind rushes past you
 As you fly across the road
 Your hair flies behind you
 As cold sweat falls over your eyes
 
 You struggle for breath
 But all you get is ice-cold air
 All you hear is the sound of your feet
 Hitting against the ground
 
 Cars rush by you
 But you don’t see them
 Your eyes don’t focus
 And you zip right past the scenery
 
 The cold soil beneath your feet
 Is the only thing that seems real
 And gravity is the only thing
 That keeps you from leaving the ground
 
 You grasp for air
 As you start to lean against a tree
 But your legs just keep on going
 And they don’t ever want to stop
 
 The world around you closes in
 As you head for the end of the trail
 Nothing seems real
 Your legs go numb and your lungs burn
 
 You struggle to keep your water down
 As you try to walk
 But all they want to do is run
 Run until you can’t go any farther
