I run

I am running.
I can't remember where I came from
I don't know where I am headed,
But I see myself Running.

The scenery around me whizzes past,
I stop not even for a moment,
I don't know where I am headed,
But I see myself Running.

The winds are blowing against my directions,
I puff and pant my way through
I don't know where I am headed,
But I see myself Running.

I run, I run, I run.
I have grown old and frail and weak,
I have lost the vision of the end,
I have gathered nothing in this race,
But I run.

In the end, time just outruns me,
and the game has ended.
