running out time.

just keep running,
if it keeps you alive.

feet on the gravel,
feet on the sand.
the pounding footsteps,
the constant beat.

keep to the beat,
you've got to catch up with the rest.
the race leader,
he's your man.

heavy breathing,
sweat in my eyes.
no more other thoughts in my head,
just the finish line before my eyes.
