the constant pounding
as my cleats repeatedly hit the grass
and the lactic acid frees itself
the constant pounding
of the blood as it rushes
through my spinning head
the constant pounding
as I see two
of the person in front of me
the constant pounding
as I push my jelly filled legs
to keep going
the constant pounding
as I push them even harder
than before
the constant pounding
of my heaving lungs
as I try to suck in more oxygen
the constant pounding
of my body
as I fall over the finish line
