Running

Running

A controlling innate trait
hidden behind shining eyes.
A gift of compulsion and restless movement

It brings pain at times.
Screams of rebellion,
quiet, subconscious tremors.
A pacing, restless quivering
But the ecstasy is worth it.

The wind against my body
The ground beneath my feet
The exhilarating pull of gravity
and the quick, smooth, instinctual pleasure
of running.
