Gas Runs In My Veins
By Antonio D’onofrio
My heart is my engine
My bike is my soul
As I start the bike fuel runs through my engine starting a fire in my heart
Smoke flying out of the exhaust as my breath fogs up my goggles blurring my vision
But somehow I can see everything crystal clear.
Goosebumps arise on my arms as I grab the throttle
The bike is alive and breathing and waiting for its que
My hearts pounding as I let go of the clutch
The gears engage and the tire is spinning
As I look to the side, the hills are flying by me like I’m gliding on air
Total concentration
One tiny rock could end my existence
But all my worries seem to disappear and my only focus is what’s in front of me
The past is only a cloud of dust
I’m in complete freedom with my heart and soul
I couldn’t care less if the world is burning around me but for the few seconds that there is no limit to speed, are the best seconds of my life
Speed is my medicine Freedom is my cure
My Bike is my soul and my heart is my engine
Gas runs in my veins and blood runs through bike
