The Race

My ears are ringing.
My heart is pounding.
My breath coming in gasps.
The clock is ticking and I can't make it stop.
I'm running.
My legs burning and my feet screaming in pain.
I can't stop.
I wont stop.
Running, ticking, pounding, burning, gasping.
Can't stop.
Racing against time.
My legs wont move any faster but my heart is willing for them to.
It seems a thousand miles away.
The clock is moving faster than me.
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
My heart is pounding in my chest.
Tha, thump, tha, thump.
Have to keep moving but my lungs are on fire.
I hear the chime.
I keep moving but I know it's too late.
I've lost the race.
