I would rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I&#039;m not.<br /> I am a dreamer and no one will ever take that away from me.<br /> People may say that you will be nothing but you may say Watch me!

A heart racing.
Sweat clawing it's way down a face.
Tears combining so no one can tell the diffrence.
The faces falshing past deep blue eyes.
Voices screaming your name saying you cna't do this.
The spikes on the bottom of the running shoes sinking in deep.
Each step equals the peircing of a face.
This race is one to prove everyone wrong.
This race will show who is who.
THis race will show how far they can be pushed.
This race is one of the world.
My chest tightning.
My chest burning.
My lungs searing.
I must keep running.
I must keep going.
I am in first place.
I have proved every one wrong.
