I am what is left of your inner strength<\/p>\n
Your late hour motivational therapist<\/p>\n
My name is Margaret, Maggie for short<\/p>\n
I live on the bridge of your nose<\/p>\n
I walk up and down, eyes to mouth<\/p>\n
Searching for ways to keep you going<\/p>\n
I would like to recommend some yoga<\/p>\n
Maybe pushups, Sit ups perhaps<\/p>\n
When was the last time you walked?<\/p>\n
I know the answer to that<\/p>\n
We need to talk about that too.<\/p>\n
Write this thing already.<\/p>\n
This and one more hour<\/p>\n
Leave the junk-food alone<\/p>\n
Keep your eyes open<\/p>\n
Stay motivated to complete the task at hand<\/p>\n
There will be rewards<\/p>\n
Not the physical ones you like<\/p>\n
Inner ones<\/p>\n
Ones that will keep you strong<\/p>\n
Don’t throw that pillow at me<\/p>\n
We will do this, we are doing this<\/p>\n
One word on top of another<\/p>\n
Fit them, stack them<\/p>\n
make them bleed<\/p>\n
That’s the way<\/p>\n
Poem, poem, poem<\/p>\n
Now doesn’t that feel better?<\/p>\n
