That Old Building

• Artist: Catch_Phraze
• Description: Found some of old poetry I had written in junior high the other day and thought I would submit some of them for review.
  I wrote this one when I was is sixth grade. I was inspired to write this on one of my families many trips to phoenix for my brother’s doctors’ appointments. Coming into phoenix we would always pass an old abandoned greyhound track. I always thought it was a really cool building & it kind of made me feel nostalgic every time we drove by it.
  Anyway please enjoy!

That old building
Dirty and crumbling
Standing at the foot of an imposing city
Waiting
Waiting for someone to walk its empty halls
That was once filled with life
Waiting for a starting gun
For the combined yells of racer and crowd
Waiting for dust to fly
To be carried by the wind and blown across the stands
Defying time
And holding dear to old memories
In that old building

I long to walk those empty halls
To flex my heals at the starting line
As many before have
To be a racer
To be a runner
To be free
In that old building
