Running for my life!


You drive around in your cars with friends. I run and listen to the beat of my feet.

You ride around on motorcycles. I ride my bike.

You lay on the couch, watch t.v., and eat junk food. I eat an apple and read a book.

You complain about something being too hard. I work harder, pushing my limits.

You put other people down. I take your putdowns and use them as motivation.

It's you against the world.
