HELP

HELP

A Poem by Barbara Lynne

HELP!

To the gym I go each day
To firm my hips and thighs
Sixty minutes feels like years
How my aching body cries!

On the treadmill I run and run
Yet I don't get anywhere
My feet fly off the bicycle
Why do I even care?

Five pound weights that feel like tons
To help my arms get firm
My shoulders ache my back goes out
My body I twist and squirm

What was I thinking, what's wrong with me?
To torture myself this way
To try and look the way I did
In a time called "yesterday"?

All I want is a nice hot bath
A massage, a tall glass of wine
Close my eyes and forget the pain
Then I know I'll feel just fine!

But then tomorrow, once again
To the gym I'll go with a grin
I'll never give up though it hurts like !**(!!)*
Oh what a mess this body is in!!!
