Pump Pump, Fly

Stop that thought, yes breath.. deep. In out; in out. Over and over till the music sinks in and you feel your muscles beg for the burn. Hands on hips, turn it up, pump it up, look up. See the sky, now that's your limit. Don't strive for more.. Don't strive for less.. Hit your target hard and fast No not fast.. you need to fly. Be light, there's no if ands or buts about it. JUST DO IT Tense up, fire up, look up. See your limit and break it. The music gets pulled but the beat pulses in your head, wait, that's your blood. It's boiling. Heart pounding. Nerves over flowing. Once more you think, no stop that.. Just do. No thought. Just Run... BANG! Pump.. pump..fly..away you go Don't look just go. Up up up and away.. You hear nothing Feel nothing See nothing Only the target Burn, breath, burn, breath In out; in out. Break the barrier and soar past it The blurry figures slow and the target is gone. Behind you now, your chest heaves for cold clean air. You're done for now Turn to watch the others finish. Plugged back in, you breath heavy Silently you think that thought again.... 'I have to do better.. I should have done better..' Stop that thought, yes breath.. deep.....
