Torture
Carried on steel and sweat
Regret coming
But first I
Elevate weight
Lifting weakness from within
Punishing the sin
In acidic hell
As fibers swell in the crucible
Burning the slothful past
past the point of exhaustion
Lost in the memories
Of ‘that which was’
Transformed into
That which will be
Will me past myself!
As barriers burn like muscular tissue
Breaking me down
Into kindling
But like the Phoenix to fires
My goal requires that I rise
Again and again and
Again and again and again
Until I begin to
F
A
L
L
Crawling with beaten limbs
At the end of the day
My body craves rest
And drags me down into slumber

I'm back! This is my first poem in a while. I have been a little too preoccupied to write much lately. I also recently started working out again and this piece is about that. I'm so sore right now that I'm walking around like an old man. I'll get back there though. What have you guys been up to?
