A Poem about Fitness

"I Want to Be Fit"

Tonight, while I was going to work

I saw a guy wearing a green polo shirt

In front of me, he sat while riding on a jeepney.

He was sweaty but good physique is observable

I imagine if only I didn't stop hitting the gym

I may have that kind of body as well

Felt jealous of it though awkward to stare at him

Then I commence to think again;

If I should be back grindin'

Pushing myself to limits and have a fit lifestyle.

It's tough to do it when I'm so lazy

In getting my ass off the couch.

Well, I know I'll regret my procrastination

Whenever I stand in front of the mirror

And see myself fat, unhealthy and ugly.

Sometimes, we learn in a hard realization;

That we let time slip by in pursuing our goal;

Without doing things that we want and like --

We wish but we never work for it to be attained.

Hope it's not too late my dear self;

In pursuing this crusade for my self-improvement
