Nimble Runner

Throughout her life,

she trained her body

to become nimble and agile.

He pulled the trigger,

gunshot towards the smoky clouds,

the race begins.

Her eyes set on the prize,

fiercely gazing forward

never turning back.

Unperturbed by smelly sweat

or fatigued breath,

pushes herself harder

until she crosses the finish line.

Victorious,

celebrating by herself

waiting for everyone she left behind

until she realised,

winners always end up alone.
