When the writing works out

All I have to do is show up,

Gain momentum;

Give you one last rep,

Another verse

To finish this poem.

I have always dreaded

Doing the plank,

Now I can hold it

For a full minute,

Without tearing up.

Lift me up

Talent is not enough

Writing is a muscle,

I had become rusty —

Now planning my sessions in

The more I work out

The more I want to write.

Create,

Train hard

The benefits of a sweat

Back to the pleasure

of my pen,

I am looking forward

To my best poem yet.
