369 – Drive

2…3…4…5…
C’m on,
I know you can give me more.

7…8…9…10…
Stretch them!
Keep it going!
You can do it!

12…13…14…15…
That’s it!
Keep the rhythm!
Just five more!

17…18…19…20!
Aaaaaand REST!
That’s the spirit!
Well done.

The burning pain
Of muscles being yanked,
Kicking and screaming,
From their comfort zone.

A sweaty smile.
The body will be sore,
But the spirit will be stronger
In the morning.
