You’ve got to run faster!
Don’t let your mind slip.
Seize the moment now,
and save what will take years.

Run
Just run.
You don’t have to hold back no more.
The world is your canvas.
Let your muscle, bones, and nerves express.
No more worrying, no more guilt, no more shame.
Let your soul rest satisfied.
Let it accept and be at ease.

Run
doesn’t it feel so good?
to be honest and faithful
just for this moment?
doesn’t this matter too?
to honor the importance
of being present
in what’s happening
right under your feet?
do you even think about it?

running
When you run,
Start slow.
And then pick it up bit by bit.
Slow down once in a while
But when you see your chance,
When you feel the stars are lining,
When you taste sweetness in the air,
Run as fast as you can
Squeezing every liquid out of your muscles
See the white flash in front of your eyes
When you are through
You will know
You have done it.
You have lived the best part of this run.

Focus
whether you like it or not
the world matches on
whether you do what you want
or what you think you should do
the world accepts and move on.
so what do you want in this world?
not in ten years, next month, or tomorrow
right now, what do you want your life to be?
what do you wake up for?
no more excuse.
right now, what is your dream?
run for it now.
run.

You
I am thinking about you
you were always there
in times of hardship
in times of peace
no matter what others say
no matter what you had to go through
hang on with me just a little longer
we are pushing ahead for another run
it won’t be the last,
and no guarantee we’ll come back
but at least we are in this together.
one more time, into the fray, we go.

Race
thighs are burning
throat is dry
jaws are clenching
teeth are grinding
fists gripped tight
as if to pulling the air
thrusting the body forward
time has never been too tangible
limits of free moving body lamentable
but don’t give up the race yet!
it ain’t over till it’s over.

마음
가끔은
알지 못하던 진실을 알게 되었을 때
살점이 찢어 뜯겨 나가는듯한 고통이 찾아 온다.
정신을 차리고 돌아 봤을 땐
무엇이 중요한지 잊을 때가 있다.
그럴 땐 나는 뛰기 시작 한다.
앞만 보고 모든걸 놓고 뛴다.
헐떡이는 폐와 심장이
비로소 나는 살아 있다는 걸
깨닫게 해준다.
살아있는 이 감사함에
다시 한번 발을 내딛는다.

Race
at one point, I forgot how fast I was running
time flew by, I just work my legs to fly
I opened my eye, realized I stopped breathing
with ease, just gasps at a time
flash of memories, bright light in the sky
warm shine from the sun, it could’ve been fun
just waiting, yes the waiting, for days to come
there will be smile, there will be warmth, there will be hope.

Run
Drop all the baggage of fat
accrued from dues for living on the earth
let the bare bones and muscles power you
on this barren journey
where only you exists.
