Personal Best by Bench Press

Best finish,
Best start,
I’ve hit my personal best.
Round the corner,
Limping in,
Made it to the end and kept it together.
It feels good,
I feel proud,
And it’s just begun.
More rounded,
Edges chiselled,
But there’s more remaining.

Build up steam.
Watch it go.

I feel so gooooooood
In the wake of, stagnation
There’s so much more to do.
Can’t stop it there.
Personal best, made to be topped.
Personal best, is a dumb idea.
But I feel so goooooooood
Today, can’t stop it, right there.

Year starts,
Year ends,
Won’t nail that personal best.
Head afloat,
Body dragging
It’s hard to swim when you’re taking on water.
I feel tired,
Empty headed,
So much left undone.
All deflated,
Must inflate,
Cause it’s just beginning.
