It's the Mind
"Boom!"
The blast of a gun
Begins our long run
I take long strides
Up the hill that is so wide
Already I want to quit
At the thought of that I feel like a nit-wit
My body tells me I can't do it
But my mind tell me that I can't quit
That... I'm strong enough
I round a curve
And certain energy is reserved
For what is up ahead
My legs feel like lead
But I keep pushing
For up ahead is the down fall
I take long fast steps and once and for all
I go even faster
For I'm nearing the finish line
And the drizzle in my glasses starts to shine
People's loud mixed cheers
Push me to my breaking point
I cross the finish line
"Keep walking!" A man say's
Some one grabs a piece of paper off my uniform
And replaces it with something cold and hard
I look down at my chest
It's a .... It's a medal!
