With time I grow--
growing similar to a tree
layer upon layer
my trunk
becomes ever sturdy.
Mental stamina
is the deepest of layers
that can outmatch
any muscle that I could have ever built.
Muscles dwindle within days,
but the fortitude to continue on
will never stifle or faulter;
nor will it ever need a rest day.
So people
there are aesthetics of beauty
that the mind can accomplish;
some feats never dreamed
by even the most physically ept.
When you find time for the gym
remember that time was at a loss
from when you could
have learned something new
anywhere else.

For some reason most people never work out the muscles that would last them a life time. Just because you can't see it; doesn't mean it isn't happening.
