Altercation With My Body

When i need an excuse not to workout but feel guilty for breaking my own routine

'My body rants'

I do the heavy lifting even when i can't continue

we're a team 

you need to do your part

just get off your lazy butt and go workout

stop writing those resolutions

act more and promise less

those sacks of candy can't be what you promised yourself

or me

lousing around and engaging cravings is all you know

i wish i'd act independently

you'd be out of work 

'I interject'

Listen body

i do the heavy lifting too

the dumb bells

was it your idea

i had to pant on a treadmill

yet i came to my own rescue 

we're a team you say

but i do the feeling 

the panicking when you gain 

help me out here too

i need a break

just stop bulging

'Body rants on'

the dumb bells you say

who'd count that as heavy lifting

am glad it wasn't my idea

that rant sucked

get your act together

sitting in front of the TV better half of the day 

bowls of popcorn

binge eating

and you blame me for bulging

what do you expect

am the receiver in this relationship

learn to make better decisions and stop blaming me for your laziness

or my next reminder will be on a hospital bed

'Me'

Am speechless!
