Written when I worked the wee morning hours shift at a health club
The suns rays blocked
from an arena of insecurities
overzealous tendencies
of action heroes training.
Good intentions gone awry
tempted by the masses
the false conception of perfection
to turn buns of sesame into steel.
The hamster wheel spinning
a dizzying race against time
losing their mind
with every round of Tae-bo
chasing numbers instead of rainbows
bending to fluorescent light.
Real pain not to gain
each calorie exhausted
trying to get by in a Barbie world.
Suffering from amnesia of the truth
to discover the fountain of youth
you got to look in and work out.
To discover the fountain of youth
take a long walk outside.
Swelling heads and biceps
check out what the butcher has on sale
enduring hell
while stair-stepping their way to heaven
Sweat and expletives fly
they're starving
while ingesting canned air and tunes
Endorphins kick in for a momentary high
each calorie exhausted
trying to get by in a Barbie world
Suffering from amnesia of the truth
to discover the fountain of youth
you got to look in and work out.
To discover the fountain of youth
take a long walk outside.
