            From time to time i'll get motivated to start writing as soon as i start working out or running. It tends to get a little bothersome at times being all i want to do in the precise moment is work out. But to all my fellow writers out there, you know when inspiration strikes you, there isnt anything to stop you from putting those words or ideas on paper, just so you don't forget it. Anyway, this was one of those times.

I lay in wait
Tear it away
By making it break
Find comfort in pain
remain the same
Forever unchanged
Im in the gym
To work me out
Make me sweat
Break me down
Put myself
Through torture
And pain
While I hastily 
Pick up some weights
Run around
Beating me down
Making sure
Im working out
Trying and fighting
Like never before
Turn it up a notch
Until my bodys sore
Going through
Another phase
Everyday
Unmatched
Unscathed
I wont change lanes
I will always be the same
Forever unchanged

We are all our own greatest enemy. I thrive on facing myself everyday.
