Bench-pressing my stress,
In the form of writing.
I raise my pen in the air
Signing the oxygen in words
Giving birth to a poem
Or essay which permeates
This world with my ideas.
The writing muse breathes
Art into this chaotic world,
Loosening the soul crud
Layered in my vast psyche.
I will keep toning my hands
By creatively writing out
My strength and truth
To change this planet.
