In the depths
Of the dark
When all sleep
I make my mark.
Silence clings
Like a diamond ring
Sparkle and shine
All within.
Determination…
Just you and the bar
Concentration…
“Wow, I’ve come far.”
Rack and crash
Sweat rolls…
Each rep moves you
Closer to your goals.
“You working out?”
Puzzled, I reply, “What’s that?”
“I train,” I say.
A simple fact.
Dedication and persistence
Soreness, tape, and aches
Characteristics and symptoms
Attached to your wake.
The Sun rises
Shimmers crease the sky
You’re still going strong
And beating the guys.
The question is:
Who wants it more?
Believe in yourself
There’s power in the roar!
WOD is done
“God, am I blessed?”
Tomorrow comes
Another test.
For what it’s worth
My sincere advice:
Single-mindedness
That’s the price.
