Lose Weight!

Lose weight,
Lose weight…lose weight!
Pumping quads burning through the movement of squats,
Biceps and Triceps
Linked like two school girls
Gripping onto each other on a long, dangerous ride,
Chest muscles smashing the sides of their faces together
As I try to improve their overall outlook on life.


Lose weight,
Lose weight…lose weight!
A pool of sweat
That might as well have been blood
Forming a molten pathway on the hardwood,
Dumbbells slick with the efforts of my exertion
Screaming at me from their position on the floor,
“You pussy!”
As I try to fight through the burn of today’s pursuit of fat burning.


Lose weight,
Lose weight…lose weight!
Thinking about the never been worn dress
Taunting me
From its place of prestige in my closet,
Flaunting her smallness as the years go by,
Filing her nails and batting her eyes,
Impatient with my prolonged heaviness,
As I try to become identical to her measurements.


Lose weight,
Lose weight…lose weight!
And here comes the pepperoni pizza that will take all my dreams away…
