Release

I throw my backpack down on my bed,
Whew! What a day
Drama, essays, tests
Another typical day.

I can barley keep up,
Everything moves forward in life
And I do all I can to stay on track
This after this, then more after more
Of everyday life,
So hard to take interest in.

I need to unwind,
Relax … no maybe I need to feel exhilarated
Yes, exhilarated and fresh
I grab my Nikes and ipod and head for the door.

I am in control,
Nothing controls me,
I affect the way I feel.

My feet pound on the muddy dirt road,
Every step sends a rush of motivation through my body
Bigger impact, I run harder
Calming feeling, I run to the beat of the music.

I am in control,
Nothing controls me,
I affect the way I feel.

Events from the day slip away with every step,
Each heart beat pumps me full of a better feeling
No longer does the stressful day bother me.

I am in control,
Nothing controls me,
I affect the way I feel.

Yes, tomorrow could be another one of those days
But I can deal with it
I will deal with it.

I am in control,
Nothing controls me,
I affect the way I feel.
