Poems List

A lot of people run

A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more. Nobody is going to win a 5,000 meter race after running an easy 2 miles. Not with me. If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself.

Somebody may beat me, but

Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it.

To do anything less than

To do anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.

To give anything less than

To give anything less than your best is to give away the gift.
