When I Learned to Run

When I Learned to Run I Walk and walk and walk Eyes are at my every step I walk and walk and walk Lips are narrowing my way I walk and walk and walk Few smiles, thousand grins I walk and walk and walk I stumble, fall, it hurts My vision bubbles shame My chest feels the surface of humiliation I feel the gravity against me The utters weakening my bones It disperses all over me But my heart holds sturdily And so, I kneel, launch and stand My ears are back to reality I walk and walk and walk My feet, ankle, knees stronger I Walk and walk and walk One… two… three...four I run, stronger, faster
