The run

by Ali   Jul 9, 2004


I run
Not to make you happy
Or to prove that I can
I just run.
Tonight
I run
26 times around a half mile track
Not for you or for your friends
But for my friends
For the seven I lost
The seven who are now looking down on me
I don't care
If you want to yell at me
Discourage me
I will not budge
You don't know
That every single step I take
Is for them
For Chris
For Jess
For Ben
For Jimmy
For Lee
For Tiff
For Brianna
And
For Chelsey
I miss her
So each step I take is in their memory
And each mile I run
Chelsey is running it with me
Its not just about them
Its about my grandma
My grandpa
My good friends Dad
Its for everyone I have ever cared about
Thats why I run tonight
So try your best
I am stronger then you think
I have them above me
And Chelsey right beside me
Running
Not for you
But for me
