Headfirst, running.
Hand and hand.
Faster. Faster. We run laughing. Not caring about what lies ahead, but rather whats next to us.
Faster. Faster. Times slows as we run by.
Faster. Faster. We run so fast I lose your hand and run head first into the pit of despair.
Now I watch you running by with another girl. Hand and hand.
Faster. Faster.

This is very good. Like EllieK said, it is short but does pack a lot of power. I like how it tells a story but it isn't straight forward. Good good job.

THIS IS REALLY GOOD. IT MAY BE SHORT, BUT IT PACKS IN A LOT OF POWER. IT HAS A REALLY GOOD STORY TO IT.

Wow. Excellent. The only problem I had was the line "pit of despair". I feel like that description sticks out like a sore thumb next to the rest of the poem. Try different wording, to match the theme, the idea youre trying to convey.

Other than that, very good. If you get the chance, read some of my work :)

wow, I really like this.  At first when I saw the title of this poem I thought it would be about track or something, but this is truly a metaphor for so much more.  Beatutiful job.
