Where once, you couldn’t run,
For the sake of it,
To get things done,
Or just for fun;
You went ahead,
And ran miles instead.

You ran as if,
Your life depended on it,
Never a moment
When you paused,
To look back;
Instead, you ran away,
And you ran into,
But run you did!

For in staying still,
You were headed downhill,
But in running,
You found purpose,
And you found you could,
Bring to a halt,
The inevitable fall.
