run.
the only thing i hear
is my rapid, quick breaths.
Run.
take the soccer ball down the field.
dont leave anything to chance.
do it better than the other team.
no pressure, really.
run.
dont let them freak you out.
they are only bigger than you,
better than you.
run.
if you fall, get back up as quickly as possible.
the longer your down,
the more mistakes your team makes.
run.
if you run fast enough, far enough,
you can escape this little world that everybody set up for you.
you can get away from the little box that your stuck in,
away from everything and everybody.

Run.
