Running Frees The Mind

So many thoughts race through my head

And I don't know what to do,

My brain feels like its overfilled

With thoughts I need to undo


When I feel like this I love to run

Just look at the sky and breathe,

Step by step the thoughts become undone

Breath by breath they start to disappear


Although it can be painful and sometimes not fun

Running really clears my head,

I could go from having the worst day of my life

To one of the best instead


Miles go by and I feel like I’m free

From the problems life has thrown my way,

As long as I am running I know I will be fine

But once I stop I am thrown back into my problems again

This poem really expresses how much running has helped me get through all the tough times in my life and how much I love to run
